Here's Ridley explaining weather he is or is not a replicant. It's about the Unicorn dream that showed up in the Director's Cut. Ridely Scott

That's all he has and he put that BS in there to sell DVDs. That unicorn meant Gaff knew Rachel was there and let them be together. Gaff made little origami pieces throughout the movie explaining how Deckard felt at that moment. The unicorn represented something hard to find/catch, one of a kind like Rachel.

So, I wonder if Atari Corporation is a main theme in this next movie. Like how the Tyrell Corporation was.

I love the classic music from the original being in the trailer.

The book and the movie are not the same.  This causes arfommers a real problem. 

I read the book after I saw the movie.  In the movie, the replicants are not mechanical robots.  They are almost impossible to detect.

Same thing happened with "The man in the high castle".  The series and book have a commonality, but the are not the same.

I didn't say anything in that quote about the book. He wasn't a replicant in the original movie.

Yeah, I never got that he was either from the original movie.  But, people will use the book to say whether he was or not and I don't think that's valid since for the later cut's of the movies because the movie is not the same as the book in many ways.

The original movie was very much more about all the questions of what is human.  There's layers of it in actions of all the major players both replicant and human.  All the movies are great.  True science fiction.

"Future Noir The Making of Blade Runner" is significant because it has everything about the film in it from beginning to end. Every person and company involved, arguments, ideas,processes,etc. Quotes and interviews with everyone involved. Scene by scene explanation from everyone involved. I read it many years ago, but I guess I'll have to skim through it so I quote exactly what it says since nobody here has read it. Another book I'd recommend is "The Blade Runner Experience" which I'm quoted in.

80's Sean Young I'd do almost without reservation, there's a reservation and it's a big one: she'd never get my real name or phone number. Because from everything I've read even then she was batshit crazy.

Now she's even more batshit crazy and age catches up to everyone.

Los Angeles Chinatown is all but gone now [same for Japantown which is only 1 block now] so that feature of the film is a bit off despite the number of Chinese living in California being double what it was in the 1980s, they all moved to the suburbs of Irvine in Orange County.  The Japanese have all but vanished in California

Glad to hear that

As someone who attended K-12 with the quite a few Sansei in elementary & Junior high school and used to frequent those shops I'd say that's a shame.

There were some wonderful businesses that will be missed. The Japantown up in San Francisco is mostly Korean now but there's a couple book stores, card stores, restaurants and specialty shops left that are nice to visit, especially during the festivals

This new movie will also hopefully settle once and for all which version of the original movie is canon.

My guess it is going to be the newest "Final Cut", meaning Rachel is not special and is probably long dead.
I see a Pris model is back as well.
She very much gave off that crazy Darryl Hannah vibe.

Looks amazing! Really looking forward to how they explain why Deckard is alive though, considering they retconned him into being a replicant and pushed the idea for years. The first movie was absolute in about the limited lifespan.

Major plot hole in blade runner.

In the opening scene where Leon was being tested at the Tyrell Corporation,  The Tyrell people should have spotted Leon a mile away whether by facial, retina, fingerprint, DNA, etc.  Why would they need the Voight-Kamphf test?    "That's our boy!  Shootem!"

I don't know, Tyrell went so far as implanting memories in the Replicants, going to all that effort sort of goes out the window if there are 3 Roys and 6 Leons sitting in an attack ship together. Sooner or later they'll be like,"But I don't have any brothers, at all, so why do you have my face?" and the jig would be up. So they weren't like Cylons with a limited number of models, in fact since they were bio-engineered they were probably all unique, and since my cousin is married to a bio-engineer I know how their minds work, a lot of Replicants are probably "based" on someone's hot school teacher or a guy they really hated in HS so hey here's Leon a dumb as fuck meat puppet. All of which means if anyone at Tyrell (except for maybe the guy that "designed" a particular Replicant) saw one they may have a vague "That guy looks familiar, was he a janitor here a few years ago?" recognition but I don't think everyone in the building would see him and pull a Donald Sutherland point and screech.

Back to the memory implant deal, I don't think the problem with Roy and company in the movie was as simple as they were Replicants on Earth but also the fact that they knew they were Replicants and knew they had an expiration date. Whether or not every Replicant knew he was one or not isn't something I remember being touched on precisely, but they were definitely not supposed to know they had a "use by" date and especially what that date was. How many times have you heard "Never piss off an old guy with nothing to lose?" That is all of them once they know their clock is almost up.

They really didn't do a good job of explaining the extent of your average replicant's worldview or self view in the movie canon, mostly because we only really see a small handful of replicants and every one of them is either a self-aware unit already in a state of rebellion or a special brain-spoofed one off experiment. I think all replicants know what they are from the word go, the question is do they accept it?

I imagine that replicants are more or less the butter robot from Rick and Morty. They are most likely pre-programmed in utero (or however they call the pre-alive constructive state) with the necessary things to do the job they are built to do. So when they slide out of their birthbag, get hosed off and given a set of clothes they get put immediately to work. Someone tells them to tote that barge and lift that bale and they just do, because it is what they were "programmed" to do. And I imagine like any cultist in a closed society with a head full of doctrine, they go about their jobs without much of a care... until someone or something breaks their programming (or they break their own through life experience) and they start asking questions. And like Rick's butter robot, all of them when presented with the truth of their existence probably have a bit of a breakdown. Tyrell's memory implant experiment was an attempt to prevent that inevitable "awakening" by preventing existential questions all self aware things eventually have.

Regarding the scene with the burning structure, tree and greenhouses I think that's a scene where K. whacks the Bautista replicant. Scott described it once in an interview.

Like many new "remake / sequels" that are coming out right now the trailer gives me hope, but I'm still cautious.

I do like a lot of the people involved with the movie though, so with some luck it won't Prometheus out on us.

... and with the resurgence of darkwave / synthpop lately the soundtrack could be pretty epic.

Now that Alien Covenant ended up disappointing at the box office, I wonder if the studio is nervous about this one. Even though Villeneuve is at the helm and that guy has an awesome track record, it was Ridley Scott's baby.
