Don't own the rights, can't use the characters, takes place a decade before, yet it supposedly ties in with Blade Runner.

I see what they did there. And it's stupid.

Why must there be a "Blade Runner universe?"

Blade Runner is possibly my favorite film of all time, and I don't see the need for a prequel, a sequel, a reboot, a TV series, webisodes, or anything else. It's a story, well told, with a beginning, middle and ending. (OK, several endings, but that's not the point.)

Man, sometimes I hate Hollywood.

Sounds like Ridley wants some easy money, with the product placements and such ... and trying to cash in on the success of Blade Runner / Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?". The fact that they haven't even gotten the rights DADOES is pretty fucked. I don't see this working out well at all, as they won't even be able to use anything from the book, such as the Tyrell corporation . How are they going to build a prequel, when they can't even reference anything in the book?

All of this spells DISASTER to me, and does nothing but piss me off. If you're going to actually do a proper sequel Ridley, then attain the rights to DADOES for fucks sake. And the product placements? Ridley, you're a goddamn whore.

Bah!

Death, death to everyone involved!

Blade Runner is not in any need of sequels, prequels, reboots or reimagining.

@slillibri: And that novel was total crap. Shame really, K. W. Jeter did some really great stuff before that.

Honestly, what the hell happened to Jeter? Guy started off brilliantly, then seemed to have his brain removed.
