Re: Blade Runner Sequel
The big thing to me isn't the action. To me, the thing I'm worried about is story and character. That's one of the things that made the first movie interesting. It had a basic premise, which was Dekkard hunting the skin jobs. However, the characters, the interactions between characters and the how they act in the actual situation that makes me want to watch the original over and over again.
Oh I am definitely expecting it to be more action focused. I can already see the studio execs turning in their 'notes' on what the movie needs to be a blockbuster. Unfortunately I really do see it being dumbed down into something akin to the Total Recall remake. On the other hand Harrison Ford had high praise for the script so I could end up being pleasantly surprised. I'm hoping it doesn't end up another throwaway sci fi movie everyone forgets about in a month. I'm actually most excited just to see them return to the dystopian Blade Runner universe.
