30 Most Exciting Films In Development Right Now

24. Blade Runner 2

Who's Involved: Ridley Scott is producing but not directing, and the script is being handled by Hampton Fancher (who wrote the original movie) and Michael Green (Smallville, Green Lantern). The script reportedly features Harrison Ford's character Rick Deckard in the third act, though it's still unknown whether the actor will return or be recast. What's It About: Nothing is known about the plot except that it will continue to explore the techno-centric theme of the first film, and that Deckard does show up. Why We Should Care: Because the original is a classic sci-fi film, and if Scott can further expand the universe without belittling what came before, then it could be another cult classic in the making. When's It Due: Scott claims that filming will begin this year, but frankly, who knows? The earliest this'll be on cinema screens is late 2016.
