Don't kill the messenger...
Thanks

Is there any substance within the plot with which to make a sequel?
I could see making a TV series out of the basic environment. but with new characters. Are we still retiring "Replicants"? Shall we venture off to one of the off-world colonies? There could be war in another galaxie.
Almost all animal life has gone extinct on Earth, but remaining humans want their pets, so 'replicant' pets become a big business. I suppose someone's replicant dog could go amok and kill its owner. Now someone has to come along and 'retire' the replicant dog. ho-hum.
But where does Deckard go? At the end of the movie he's in his air car with Rachel heading for a border. Escape, to save Rachel from "retirement". (director's cut) It's now 33 years later, Deckard is much older, but Rachel must still appear the same. Think of the emotional turmoil over that. Perhaps Deckard and Rachel could not find peace in their life on the lam. Maybe there is a story there, but I'm not coming up with anything interesting.
I thought the movie fairly well followed the novel (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep)All the major plot points were hit. Some detail variation but the essence of the novel exists within the movie. And I thought the novel was concluded. Story over. That's all folks. Or so I thought. but apparently Scott has a screenplay written for a sequel.
-Steve
Tyrell's niece Sarah, (who Rachel's memories are based on), is running the company...She wants to find Deckard and Rachel...as you stated went into hiding...Ryan Gosling is the lead and Ford does not show up until the 3rd act...
Replicatants may come out of storage...
Potential of the "human" versions of Roy Batty, Hauer, and Pris, Hannah, may make an appearance...not sure on Young. Sean Young burned allot of bridges...
Who is directing keeps jumping back and forth from Scott to Denis Villeneuve...
Thanks
Mark
I guess that could sort of work into another movie plot. There must be a reason why Scott earns the big bucks and the rest of us have to pay to see.
;-)
Shortcomings of the original film; acting
Hauer, Young, M. Emmet Walsh
-----------------
Hanna was good. So Was Brion james.
Ford: well, he's Ford.
Brion James died in 1999. Too bad. His was a genuinely scary character and made a good dull-witted replicant soldier with sadistic tendencies. A shame we can't recall him.
I liked the Chinese technician....James Hong. I thought he disappeared into his character very well. He must be getting rather ancient by now.
Joe Turkel was believable with his extra thick geeky glasses.
Joanna Cassidy. Good enough but not memorable.
Olmos: very good.
just m2c.
A flawed movie to begin with. But the atmosphere worked really well.
-Steve
Steve...Good character breakdown...
Olmos, Turkel, and Hong really solid performances...I will add to that...M. Emmitt Walsh...Police Captain
Very good...Hannah, James and I really liked William Sanderson as J.F. Sebastian...Loner, geek brainy-ac with diminutive stature was spot on...
But for me this was all about first person narration film noir set in the future...really had not been done before. I like visions of the future that are not too pristine...haves' and have-not's
Ford was playing a version of Philip Marlow...set in the future. The moodiness and look fed that narrative well.
Just my $.02
Thanks

Can someone please explain how to post trailers...
Thanks
Mark
So, go to share.
Go to embed.
Copy the link and settle it into message.
You only have ONE opportunity to embed it here, otherwise the AA system rejects it and
you have to re-embed it (ie, DON'T preview it and expect it to stay, you just need to post it).
Which I just screwed up and did...
You can mess with size and your computer should remember your preference.
"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
.
Now there is a conversation I would like to hear...
Nolan and Scott discussing the space time continuum...The earth looks in a little better shape in Martian than Interstellar...
MAYBE Hathaway could get picked up by David and Dr. Shaw on there way to meet the Engineers...
OR...would they run into Ripley on her way to Alien 5...but Neil Blomkamp, (director of Alien 5), is most likely making his 4th installment of District 9...since Elysium and Chappie were still showing us the evils of Apartheid...In his Alien 5, are the Aliens the oppressed???
HHHHmmmmm....these questions and many more I do not have answers too...
Thanks
Mark
...It looks kind of like a reality based sci-fi story.
I have not read the book, but now I want to.
The visuals seen in the trailer kind of remind me of that movie; "Mission To Mars" (2000)
The other Mars movie: Red Planet (2000) which turns into a horror movie when the on board Robot goes nuts and attacks the mission crew while on the surface of Mars....when crew members aren't busy murdering each other. Oh, and they discover a new life form...but it's not friendly.
Hopefully this new movie will offer something better than the other two I mention.
-Steve
I have seen the Red Planet and Mission to Mars...never really liked either...
I listened to an 1 hour interview with the author of book Andy Weir. This is all about the science, no "aliens" here...Matt Damon is the Martian...
Mr. Weir is computer programmer with a love of NASA, Space and Science in general...the earths orbit, Mars elliptical orbit and matching it with a space ships trajectory is a huge problem that needs to be resolved to attempt a rescue. He created a computer program with a calendar to make sure it all worked...This is not Gravity, where the Hubbell, ISS and the Chinese Space Station all JUST happen to line up...His premise is 30 to 50 years in the future...
One of the big issues was a space suit that did not take two people to put on and more freedom of movement...that being one of the Major FI elements...
He did not consult NASA or JPL during the writing of the book, but they all have given him their blessing after they read the book...and wanted to be a part of the movie...(the book started as Serial Web series one chapter at a time. Science people would chime in if he did not have the Chemistry, Electronics or any of the Science not quite right and he would go back and make corrections)
Once again Ridely's sets look damn good...I really like the cast...
The original release date was late November, it is now scheduled for first weekend in October...
Thanks
Mark
Find the trailer on YOUTUBE
Below the video you will see a "Share" icon
You will see the word "Embed", open it
You will then see the embed code, when I opened it it was already highlighted. Hold cursor over the code, right click, and hit "copy". If it isn't highlighted, highlight it, right click, and click on "copy"
Then come to this screen, right click, and hit "paste". Bingo. Here's the trailer
----------------------
"E Burres Stigano?"
.
And yes, the cast is great.
"A lie is half-way around the world before the truth can get its boots on."
-Mark Twain
...and so far the book a trudge.
Way too much math and science and one guy talking to himself, dealing with one problem after another.
Hopefully it will get better.
From the trailer, it appears it will...eventually.
Hard to believe this was a best seller but with that cast it could be a terrific film.
