I'm torn.
On the one hand, more Blade Runner would be awesome.
On the other hand, these god damn member berries keep getting their disgusting sticky juice all over my childhood memories.
I'll reserve judgement on this particular nostalgic 'redux', but I really fear that's all it will be. Hollywood is completely devoid of independent thought or original storytelling these days. Part of me hopes this movie loses $200000000 so they'll quit rehashing classics.
I totally expect another Treasure of the Sierra Madre to come out in the next few years with way more explosions, more grisly deaths and action, and everything that made the original great missing.

I'll give them a chance... one of my favorites, so *promote and hope they don't f* it up...

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, December 19th, 2016 10:55am PST - promote requested by RFlagg.

It wouldn't matter how badly it fails, it would only affect further Blade Runner movies. You'll still end up with a Treasure of the Sierra Madre remake, directed by Michael Bay.
Personally I've never understood the whole concept of remakes destroying people's memories of the originals, Blade Runner was, is, and always will be awesome.

You're probably right, but enough costly redux flops will eventually stop future waves of nothing but rehashed movies....maybe.

For me, they don't destroy the memories but do tarnish them. I can't think of Evil Lord Vader without also thinking of little orphan Anni now. I can't watch Indiana Jones kicking ass without remembering how he was totally (figuratively) ass raped in the last movie. It certainly takes something from the purer memories of my youth to have the stories and characters pimped out for $15.

I am giving this a chance based purely on the choice of director. "Arrival" was that rarest of things, a smart sci-fi.

This still has a high chance of suck, but I'm prepared to be surprised.

Jesus, you guys are pussies! Do you even know how many terrible Hellrasiser sequels I had to forget to still enjoy parts 1 and 2?
Pinhead ain't the joke Miramax made him to me. I forgot. I won.
'This isn't for your eyes!'

Almost meta maybe? Being tortured by watching movies about torture demons torturing poor unsuspecting souls?

Remakes? We don't need no stinkin' remakes!

I just coined a term for my dislike of remakes....
I have redux reflux.

The problem in a nutshell, imo.....

The full quote would have been better;
"Remakes, to god-damned hell with remakes! We have no remakes. In fact, we don't need remakes. I don't have to show you any stinking remakes, you god-damned cabrón and chinga tu madre!"

And I think that's a big problem with remakes, in the remake they will simply say "badges?... we don't need no stinking badges" because that's how people misremember and simplify the excellent line, and all the flavor and fun will be lost in an effort to squeeze another dime out of a great piece of art by bastardizing it towards the lcd.
