    Happy to hear he’ll work on the next Dune. Sad that it means he’s not working on another Blade Runner installment.

      I’m not convinced there’s another good story to tell in Blade Runner. Granted, I was pretty shocked when 2049 found an excellent story.

        And Sony fucked him by using Harrison Ford in the marketing when it was clearly meant to be a reveal within the story. It’s literally written and shot to be a surprise reveal but Sony being Sony thought it would get more butts in seats.

        Fantastic film otherwise

        Yeah, boy was I pleasantly surprised BR2049 was not a shitty cashgrab. On the topic, I’d like a new story in Blade Runner universe with new characters, not related to original movies.

      He wasn’t going to work on that regardless. His next project would’ve been an adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama. I also never heard anything about Villeneuve wanting to make another Blade Runner, I don’t think that’s in the picture at all.
