What Zodiac Sign Buttercup

What to expect from the result of BLADE RUNNER? The word to the producers.

È noto che vi sarà un sequel o un prequel di Blade Runner. Il Blog Io9 ha posto le domande più scottanti ai produttori, Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson e Bud Yorkin. Scopriamo quindi se si tratterà di Blade Runner 2 o di Blade Runner: le origini .

Si tratterà di un prequel o di un sequel?
Kosove: Ancora non siamo in grado di dirlo. Quando lo sapremo, lo renderemo pubblico. È troppo presto per answer. What we can say is that you have activated a process by which authors and hear different ideas of possible directors, together with the authors who submit them. Currently we are open to so much as a prequel to a possible sequel.

Why you bought the rights to Blade Runner?
Johnson is one of our favorite films, and we thought that the universe created in the film is full of ideas and potential. We are intellectually fascinated, and ready to explore the themes evoked by the film and all the thought behind it. After all this is the recipe for a good movie. Along with the characters. Explore all that is the great opportunity of a lifetime.

Che tipo di storia pensate che Blade Runner abbia intrapreso e che possa essere proseguita ulteriormente?

Kosove: è una domanda molto interessante. Penso che dal nostro punto di vista ciò che ci ha indotti a muoverci adesso è il fatto che stiamo vivendo (e penso che siamo molto fortunati in tal senso) una sorta di era della rivoluzione industriale della tecnologia. Il cambiamento in corso è rapidissimo. Di conseguenza, e a causa del fatto che Philip K. Dick è stato molto acuto nell’immaginare un mondo che, sebbene oggi non esista, è in veloce avvicinamento, c’è tutto il potenziale per pensare a come sarà il mondo nel nostro immediato future. Or at least be able to reflect on how after Blade Runner, since today there are new elements that are part of our way of being, which are now part of our consciousness, which was not possible to predict many years ago. Two weeks ago, I was at the airport in Dallas, where I saw a robot that went around the entire terminal to do the cleaning, and talking with people, even in a fluid. It was extraordinary, and in that moment I learned that we were about to undertake the project continuation Blade Runner, and I thought how quickly the world is progressing, how realistic were the ideas of Philip K. Dick, and how much material is now available to develop a project, which is a prequel or a sequel.

mentioned is interesting that the world before or after Blade Runner. The film was set in 2019 in fact, that it is not so far away. Have you thought about how to handle the question of the dates?
Kosovo is an issue to be addressed in relation to the decision to make a prequel or a sequel, prequel when it comes to the scene to take place in the near future. So my answer is that our immediate future may in fact look very different from now. Just like the current one is profoundly different from that of eight years ago. I do not think that a prequel is to be excluded, but at same time we are interested in the possibility of a sequel. In recent years, Alcon has always been based on the quality of the directors with whom we were privileged to work, openness to new ideas and the creation of a free environment. We welcome ideas, and only then decide which direction to proceed.

Of course, ours is only an informal chat in order to understand the mood of the moment. Can we at least know if you would like the project explained the story of the rebellion of the narration that opens the replicants of Blade Runner? The explanation of why they are now illegal.
Kosovo would be an excellent direction and fascinating. I can say this: the Pentagon is exploring every possible way to do battle without the need for human beings. You can see that with the use of drones. The logical consequence of this is exactly the world imagined by Philip K. Dick, which is approaching the situation where non-human beings are entrusted with responsibilities to which human beings prefer to abdicate. But what if there was humanity in these "people"? The idea you suggest would be an excellent way to open a new movie. That's why we need a completely free approach in mind.

There really is a lot of material even in the random quotes on the appearance of various surrogates, such as "oh, she is a model for the pleasure, he is a combat android." In short, ideas are open.

Bud Yorkin: Replicants will, of course. It is an important part of the project starting. Surely there will be the Replicants. In this regard, the Replicants can be of many types, and may be involved in many ways in which man lives and works. In short, something will be different. And certainly, you're right, we will build will be an integral part of the environment.
Kosove: I think this is a unique look in Blade Runner , e che assolutamente debba essere riaffrontato in questo periodo della storia dell’umanità. È qualcosa che investe il significato stesso dell’identità dell’essere umano. Cosa significa essere umani, avere empatia, avere sentimenti? Questo concetto essenziale, alla luce della tradizione di Blade Runner, che ne ha fatto addirittura un’icona, per noi si traduce nell’irresistibile sfida intellettuale di immaginare un capitolo di Blade Runner immediatamente precedente la storia o in alternativa ad essa successivo. Ed è per questo che siamo scesi nell’arena e siamo felici di lavorare a questa opportunità con la Alcon e Bud [Yorkin].

Avete interpellato Ridley Scott?
Kosove: la risposta molto sintetica a questa domanda è la seguente. Non riveleremo se abbiamo interpellato Ridley Scott o meno, ma possiamo affermare che l’approvazione da parte di Ridley Scott del nostro progetto è molto importante per la Alcon. È importante per Bud [Yorkin], e di certo noi tutti nutriamo il massimo rispetto per lui come regista. È uno dei più grandi registi viventi ed è uno dei più grandi registi di tutti i tempi. Perciò è ovvio che per noi sia così importante.

Quando è stata diffusa la notizia, il pubblico si è diviso in due fazioni. Alcuni pensano che sia una buona notizia, perché oggi c’è la tecnologia per rendere tutto ciò overtime, while many others are worried that Hollywood might corrupt the legacy of Blade Runner. We like to say something in response to their doubts?

Kosovo appreciate it if you were clear on this: Alcon is owned by Warner Bros. None of this is supported by WB. We are a manufacturing and financial independent. Our relationship with Warner, which is very firm, was founded in the early years of our company. They distribute all our films. First, we fully support costs, and also to respond, perhaps in part, to the doubts Fan Blade Runner, it must be said that it could take off or not. It is possible that we will do the film, but we do not exclude that this could never happen. But what I can give you for sure today is that our way of proceeding is not to gather a group of fifteen managers around a table to manage the creative process. Broderick and I'll meet writers and directors and try to think of the direction to take and the kind of story that inspires confidence. At that point, we will provide artistic autonomy to those who work to make it a great movie. I think that regardless of the success we had with Alcon (think the collaboration with Chris Nolan on Insomnia , or the work done by the Hughes brothers to Genesis Code o con Jonathan Hancock per Blind Side ), la filosofia del credere nel lavoro del regista, dandogli solo delle linee generali e lasciando che svolga il suo lavoro, ci abbia molto ben ripagati. E questo è il modo in cui procederemo anche stavolta. Non ho un modo migliore di questo per rispondere alla domanda.

Avete in mente un autore o un regista con il quale, idealmente, iniziereste il lavoro domani stesso?
Kosove: idealmente? Sì, il nostro amico Chris Nolan con cui abbiamo realizzato Insomnia .

Buono a sapersi. Questo vuol dire che intendete perseguire il crudo realismo proprio del film originale.
Kosove: sinceramente, non si tratterà a remake of Blade Runner. We have purchased the legal rights to the remake, nor are we interested in moving in that direction, we just want to make a prequel or a sequel. But of course the style that Chris Nolan has used to Batman is exactly what we aspire to, whoever is directing, is that Ridley Scott wants to join us, whether it is another. This is exactly the kind of movie we have in mind for Blade Runner.
