Blade Runner Sequel?

[Shane Hannafey]

I never knew this!  I like this film a lot too!

Soldier (1998)

Though it was advertised as a stand-alone movie starring Kurt Russell as a genetically engineered super human, director Paul W.S. Anderson intended Soldier to exist within the same fictional future universe as the 1982 sci-fi classic starring Harrison Ford. Screenwriter David Peoples, who wrote the script for Soldier and co-wrote the script for Blade Runner, refers to the movie as a “sidequel.” Soldier even makes various references to the writings of Philip K. Dick, who wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which is the source material that Blade Runner is based on. And if you watch the movie closely, you should notice a spinner vehicle from Blade Runner in a pile of wreckage on the junk planet where the majority of the film takes place.

That’s interesting to know, I’ll have to search that one out. It does sound familiar, but 20 years is a long time, and my old memory ain’t so good!

One of these days I have to finish watching the new Bladerunner movie.

I knew about it, well I knew about the Spinner and the references to Blade Runner but I didn’t pick up on the references to some of Dick’s other books.

I thought Blade Runner 2049 was one of the best movies of last year.

It's also suppose to be linked to Aliens as well if I remember correctly

I love both franchises and even I didn’t make some of those connections

I think 2049 is a modern sci-fi masterpiece.

A friend tells me that He saw Soldier at Dollar General for $4.95 if anyone’s looking for it.
