It's official. (source: deadline)

I just hope it isn't actually called "Blade Runner 2."

I have mixed feelings on this. Yes, it's an awesome universe and of course it's Sir Ridley, but another BR is not needed. Maybe I'll take that back someday. I would much rather see him create a totally new sci-fi story.

If there's a Rutger Hauer cameo I'm going to vomit. Other than that, sounds like a great idea

I'd say I'd like to see more of the L.A. of the future, but thanks to the seminal influence of the original's visuals upon sci-fi en masse in the years since, I dunno' that that is a requirement for a sequel. I just hope/expect it to look great and be more interesting than anything starring The Rock.
