In an interview in "Newsday", October 6, 1992, Ridley Scott
is quoted as saying: "I'd really like to do that, I think 'Blade Runner' made some very interesting suggestions to the origins
of Harrison Ford's character, addressing the idea of immortality. I think it would be a very intelligent sequel."
Three official and authorized Blade Runner novels have been written by Philip K. Dick's friend K.W. Jeter that
continue the story of Rick Deckard and attempt to resolve many of the differences between Blade Runner and DADoES.
Can't get enough of Blade Runner? The next best thing to watching the movie, or reading the book, is living it...virtually.
There is Westwood's computer game that allows you to be a Blade Runner and "retire" illegal replicants. There is
Commodore 64's and Sinclair ZX Spectrum's game, and CPC's Blade Runner boardgame.
It must be an addiction. How else can you explain it?
Maybe we want more of a good thing. It's like in the 1930's with the old roadside ads that had sequential
messages that pulls you in.
As far back as we can see there have been sequels in our lives.
Maybe it started with characters in an olde play. Once books were mass produced they too followed suit.
Then came movies. There are at least ten movies coming out
this year alone that are sequels! And at least fifteen more movie sequels scheduled the year after. It's
an ever-increasing epidemic!
So, naturally, Blade Runner enthusiasts want to know..."When
is there going to be a Blade Runner sequel?"
Blade Runner is more than just a movie. It's a mythology.
