Two iconic Ridley Scott movies were expanded upon in 2017, with Alien: Covenant serving as Scott’s own prequel to the original Alien and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 of course being a sequel to Blade Runner. Neither film was much of a box office success story, but that hasn’t killed any of Scott’s interest in either property.
While Scott continues to express a desire to finish out his Alien prequel franchise, he’s also keen on continuing the Blade Runner franchise with another installment!
In a chat with Digital Spy, Scott said he hopes to make another.
“I think there is another story,” he told the site. “I’ve got another one ready to evolve and be developed, so there is certainly one to be done for sure.”
Blade Runner 2049 grossed $258 million worldwide on a $150 million production budget, so we can’t imagine there’s much studio interest in another one right now.
But god bless you for remaining passionate every step of the way, Sir Ridley!
