‘Blade Runner’ Sequel Has Found Its Director!
The trades have some hot news this Thursday evening, reporting that Enemy and Prisoners filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is in talks to direct the Blade Runner sequel for Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox.
Scott has openly stated he wouldn’t return to helm the sequel to his 1982 sci-fi masterpiece that followed a blade runner (Harrison Ford) who must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.
Ford is said to be returning to the role in a film that lives in the same universe as Alien and Prometheus.
As this gets off the ground, Scott is preparing Prometheus 2, and it producing the newly announced Alien sequel with Neill Blomkamp.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
