He takes the test and it shows he’s not a replicant.

The movie addresses themes that occupy chapters in the dense book with simple scenes like the scene with the pidgin, it’s a simply brilliant adoption, In the novel Deckard is married and owns an electric ship, both book and film are masterpieces in their own art form, but I don’t think it is that clear in the novel if he is or not an android, after-all he wakes up by a surge of electricity – he is a guy hired by the police to kill Andys, why? Why not a cop? maybe because androids cannot become police officers? – many of the androids in the novel don’t know that they are not humans anyway.. That is the beauty of Philip K Dick, you never know exactly was it going on. It’s the magic of I chin.. the devil.

Sure they’re different but everyone except Ridley Scott seems to be against the idea of Deckard being a replicant, especially Ford. What kind of a weak ass model would he be anyway, he gets his ass kicked by every Nexus six.. Doesn’t seem to be any stronger than a human being. It also seems stupid to have Batty make all these grand statements to another machine.

As I said though, I wouldn’t mind another movie in this universe. They could do anything really but I’d rather not see it tied to Deckard/Ford in any way unless he simply handed out a mission to a new Blade Runner or something small like that.

The film and the book are so fundamentally different that the two Deckards can hardly be said to be the same character. Anyways, if Ridley Scott is behind it, they could cast the Nasinex Bee as Deckard and I would still be interested, if Prometheus is any indication.

All I know is my friend Bob hates everything related to sequels ever since Crystal Skulls came out, and my friend Bob knows his shit.

I think that they should keep HArrison the way he is and do not make him a CG of any kind, i mean the Arnie CG in Terminator was crap, and even Jeff Bridges in the newest TRON was retarded.

You guys are assuming that Ridley Scott’s intention was to retell the story contained in the book. It’s pretty clear that he had his own ideas about where he wanted to take it.

I hope not. Unless he’s the chief handing out a mission to the new Blade Runner. I actually don’t mind another movie in this universe though.

And Deckard is not a fucking replicant, he takes the void kampff test in the book and it turns out negative.

Despite what Ridley Scott says, the real Rick Deckard is not a replicant. It might be interesting to see what course his life takes and what becomes of Tyrell. There are several spin-off novels that were written after the movie’s release.

This could be a nice opportunity to explore some of the themes of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that Blade Runner seems to ignore, like Mercerism and the Empathy Boxes.

Though, in all honesty, I’d rather see a remake with a new cast and fresh director.

they can use the aging thing to resell the same oxymoron man, you never really knew if Deckhard was an android anyway
