Any film lover will agree this is pretty exciting, and whilst we’d all love Ridley Scott to make the new stuff it looks like this honour / privilege / responsibility is, perhaps strangely, going to go to the team which put together 2009′s “The Blind Side”. At least this means we are unlikely to see a lack of emotional depth in the Blade Runner “before & / or after” productions, and in a way the emotional isolation & then re-discovery of the characters in The Blind Side could well be said to, in some ways, mirror that of the Deckard / replicant emotional journey / cycle.

Origami at the ready people…
