PBC - BLADE RUNNER (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) - Philip K. Dick
Sometimes it's hard to understand why they insist on remaking or sequelizing (is that a word?) the really great movies. I remember someone a number of years ago remade "Psycho" in color, shot for shot as Hitchcock did it and the new movie was crap. But I guess you never have enough money and that's the real reason behind it all. And I felt so good when I started this morning. Have a good one Rocket. Best Bob
I too am looking forward to it. The right people are involved, so it has a good chance of not sucking. Although Gosling mostly just bores me with his boringness. And it took long enough, so it's not like most sequels (Fast & Bi-curious, etc) where its only purpose is to make money.
If you haven't seen this director's other films (mainly Sicario and Arrival) I recommend you check them out Bob...they're really well done! Sicario is an AMAZING film! Sort of like a 21st century French Connection. And besides Denis Villeneuve is a fellow countryman of yours!!! (albeit via Québec I believe)
I'm probably setting myself up for a big disappointment but I'm looking forward to this movie's sequel (coming out later this year...)

ReplyDeleteI just saw the trailer for the sequel. I must admit it looks good - not just a rehashing of the old movie. And Harrison Ford shows up as Dekker!

DeleteThanks Rocket. And Quebec's okay with most Canadians. Les differences sont petit!
