Ford didn't get along with either Scott or Young. I'm thinking the new movie will have an all new cast.

Can replicants reproduce? Always wondered if Deckard and Rachael had a little Nexus 7.
Dr. Ian Malcolm- "Llife finds a way."

Deckard and Rachael characters do not have anything further to do for us. It is not ours to know their ultimate fates. They left together, that's it! Done.
That universe has tales to tell within it I won't argue that, I don't have issue with other unique stories set within it as long as they are unto themselves worthy of telling without the crutch of the events in Blade Runner itself.
They could explore things from the book that were left out with some different new original characters with new problems to deal with.

I wonder what the Blade Runner Mafia thinks about this...

It should be a comedy - Nexus 7, Humans 0

*****, as long as it's all new characters set in that universe I can at least totally ignore it. If Deckard's back it's just a total skidmark on history. But a LOT of crappy sequels have been totally forgotten in time (American Graffitti 2, Robocop 3, Donnie Darko 2, etc) and the original is still revered. I will just choose to plain not see this and not read or think about it. It doesn't exist for me, like the American version of Let the Right One In. Won't see it, think about it, more or less won't credit its existence. Ridley Scott hasn't made a good movie in what, fifteen, twenty years? Hard to be excited about more crap from the guy who delivered Kingdom of Heaven AND Robin Hood. His best work is clearly loooooooooooong behind him. Oscar temporary insanity aside, Gladiator blew also. Did he do Black Hawk Down? If so, I'm calling that his last worthwhile film.

This is... really unfortunate. I don't understand why people can't just let a good thing lie, instead of leaching all the life out of it with sequels and prequels and spin-offs and the like. 2011 is already setting a record for the most sequels made in one year. Let's not have 2012 vying for the title.
Anyway, I am much more interested in a new, unique story. The greatest movies usually are just that.

Yeah, its a shame they made Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Dark Knight, Terminator 2, and all of those Harry Potter movies.

I did say usually. Of course there are exceptions. I am a big fan of both of the Toy Story Sequels, for example. However, in my opinion the vast majority of sequels are just people trying to cash in on something popular without understanding (or caring) what made it popular to begin with.
Also, movies based on books are a bit different, imo - the story was already there, and it is more the continuation of an overarching plot as in the case of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

Alien (1979) > Aliens (1986) - Time: 7 Years
Star Wars (1977) > Empire (1980) - Time: 3 Years
Temple of Doom (1984) > Last Crusade (1989) - Time: 5 Years
Batman Begins (2005) > Dark Knight (2008) - Time: 3 Years
Terminator (1984) > Terminator 2 (1991) - Time: 7 Years
Harry Potter (2001) > Harry Potter 2 (2002) - Time: 1 Year
Return of the Jedi (1983) > Phantom Menace (1999) - Time: 16 years
Blade Runner (1982) > Blade Runner Sequal (~2014?) - Time: >30 years
Also, I think Batman is pretty played out, but I know that's just me.
Sequels can be a good thing if it's a movie that lends itself to serialization. The examples above ALL were MEANT to be serials. Some movies are meant to be one-shot deals and I think Blade Runner is in that category. Do we need a sequel to Gone with the Wind? No. How about Casablanca? No. They told the stories they wanted to tell and now they're done.

If the way Ridley Scott is doing Prometheus is any indication, I think it would be more of a stand alone movie with only slight connection to the original Blade Runner, more than a direct sequel/prequel.
Everything I have seen from Prometheus looks great. Cant wait to see it. Ridley knows what he is doing. Who could possible be better to take us into that neo-noir cyber-punk world again?
I am going to see it the second it comes out.
