When we reported in May of last year about the upcoming Blade Runner 2 directed by Ridley Scott, we had said that it would be a sequel featuring a female protagonist written by original Blade Runner writer Hampton Fancher. Now it seems that a hard reset button has been pushed, and we’re not even certain that it will be a sequel.

According to The Wrap, Green Lantern writer Michael Green is now in talks to pen the project and it’s still up in the air as to whether it will be a sequel or even a prequel, though The Wrap has a source that strongly believes it will be set many years after the first film. I’m interested to see whatever they have planned and am just glad it’s not a remake of Blade Runner adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

We’ll keep you posted on the latest for the Untitled Blade Runner Project directed by Ridley Scott.
