I read (very surprised I might add) that Ridley Scot as recently as last year said that a sequel to Blade Runner is not out of the realm of possibility....what do you think?

Nope.
The novel sequels already proved that sequels are a bad idea. The story really has nowhere to go from here.

Though there is a lot of interesting features WITHIN that universe worth exploring, it wouldn't be Blade Runner. Cripes and houndstooth, it would be like making a sequel to Lord of the Rings or Narnia.

Next you'll be telling me they want to make a sequal to the movie Highlander.

Soldier was supposed to be in the Blade Runner universe, though they were pretty subtle about it. Todd was supposed to be fighting replicants, and he had fought at Tannhauser Gate. And, you're right - it wasn't Blade Runner.

What? So in the Bladerunner universe there are people on earth who want to get off world but can't manage it, while old parking meters from earth get a free trip to a habitable planet? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

It was explained in the book, which was completely unlike the movie but still gave a reason for some people to remain on Earth. They didn't get through the physical or psychical checks (I think JF Sebastian actually alluded to this), had business reasons to stay or were actually replicants.

You expected it to make sense?

What sort of physical or psychological checks could a human fail but a parking meter pass? I mean, if they can afford to lug parking meters through space and dump them on a habitable world, it's not as if space travel is expensive or habitable planets are rare. Anyone who wants to go should be able to.

Well no, that was foolish of me, wasn't it? I saw the movie Soldier in Japan and their is something about Japan that makes even stuff like the X-Files make sense, but no, it did not work for the movie Soldier. It made no sense.

Maybe they had bad experiences.
Or they only wanted to have the smart and strong people in space. Seems that the thing takes place after a nuclear war, and they might be very scared of mutations.

I'm trying to remember what name they used for the movie Soldier in Japan. I think they called it Rubbish Movie.

parking meters are notorious for failing the Voigt-Kampff Test...."my mother....I'll tell you about my mother....blam..."

It's my favourite movie (despite the logic shortcomings in the story), which is why I would not want its memory sullied by bad sequels.

Sequels in general are bad ideas.

There are a few good sequels out there (Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Spiderman 2), but they tend to be made from movies that have an open ending allowing for further exploration (the Empire hasn't been defeated yet, Ripley is left drifting in space, Spiderman hasn't gotten the girl yet). At the end of Bladerunner the replicants and Tyrell (and Sebastian and Chew as well) are all dead and Deckard has quit for good. End of story.
