BLADE RUNNER 2049 Director Wants A New Standalone Movie

Well, it looks like Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve wants to revisit the world of Blade Runner – if the new movie was ‘unconnected’ from the first two.

Specifically, he tells Empire: “It’s such an inspiring place, the Blade Runner world. The problem is have is the word ‘sequel’. I think cinema needs original stories. But if you ask me if I’d like to revisit this universe in a different way, I can say yes. It would need to be a project on its own. Something disconnected from both other movies. A detective noir story set in the future… I wake up sometimes in the night dreaming about it.”
