The announcement of any project that tinkers with the legacy of a beloved movie classic is always going to be met with mixed reactions – something that filmmaker Ridley Scott is well experienced at dealing with. Not only has he tinkered with his Alien franchise, he has also repeatedly tinkered with Blade Runner – a habit that has helped create no fewer than seven different versions of the film. Aside from the various preview versions of Blade Runner, there are two theatrical cuts (U.S and International), a Director’s Cut, and The Final Cut. So, when Ridley Scott announced his intention to make Blade Runner 2, there was plenty of criticism, but little surprise.
