Scott is inking to both direct and produce a "new installment of Blade Runner"
The first film was based upon author Philip K. Dick's story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Will it be a sequel, a prequel or something else is unclear- as set on the same futuristic Earth filled with Replicants and Blade Runners but involving entirely different characters.
The deal made in March when Alcon Entertainment won the franchise rights stated they could essentially do what they wanted with one exception - they could NOT remake the original.
No script has been yet locked which means the options of where this could is wide open.
Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce.
