Nobody really knows exactly what Ridley Scott is planning with his new Blade Runner movie. Will it be a remake, a sequel, a prequel..or the dreaded "Re-imagining"? I'm sure all will be revealed soon enough but for now at least it appears the project has a writer..
Sources tell Twitch that Scott Burns - writer of Contagion and The Bourne Ultimatum - has been identified as the top choice to write the picture by both Scott himself, his producers at Alcon and the project's backers at Warner Brothers and that all parties are now involved in active talks to make it happen.
Burns also penned the underrated Matt Damon flick
The Informant for director Steven Soderbergh. I wasn't thrilled at the news of a new
Blade Runner but with Scott himself at the helm it's hard not to to be excited at the same time. And Burns is a hell of a writer too so things seem to be shaping up nicely.
