LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 31, 2013, 3:30 pm, EST\u2014Writer Michael Green is in negotiations to do a rewrite of Alcon Entertainment\u2019s \u201cBlade Runner\u201d sequel penned by Hampton Fancher (\u201cBlade Runner,\u201d \u201cThe Minus Man,\u201d \u201cThe Mighty Quinn\u201d) and to be directed by Ridley Scott. Fancher\u2019s original story\/screenplay is set some years after the first film concluded.<\/p>\n

Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, along with Ridley Scott. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO\u2019s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n

Green recently completed rewrites on \u201cRobopocalypse\u201d and Warners Bros \u201cGods and Kings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcon and Yorkin previously announced that they are partnering to produce \u201cBlade Runner\u201d theatrical sequels and prequels, in addition to all television and interactive productions.<\/p>\n

The original film, which has been singled out as the greatest science-fiction film of all time by a majority of genre publications, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \u201cculturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.\u201d The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1993 and is frequently taught in university courses. In 2007, it was named the 2nd most visually influential film of all time by the Visual Effects Society.<\/p>\n

Released by Warner Bros. almost 30 years ago, \u201cBlade Runner\u201d was adapted by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples from Philip K. Dick\u2019s groundbreaking novel \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\u201d and directed by Scott following his landmark \u201cAlien.\u201d The film was nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction). Following the filming of \u201cBlade Runner,\u201d the first of Philip K. Dick\u2019s works to be adapted into a film, many other of Dick\u2019s works were likewise adapted, including \u201cTotal Recall,\u201d \u201cA Scanner Darkly,\u201d \u201cMinority Report,\u201d \u201cPaycheck,\u201d and the recent \u201cThe Adjustment Bureau,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
