Remember a few weeks back when I reported that there could be a new Blade Runner film in the works?

Well, today more verification that android-cop Dekker could indeed be making a comeback.

A reader tells Slash Film that "I recently attended a Q&A session with one of the writers of ‘Eagle Eye' after a free screening organized by the magazine Creative Screenwriting. During the Q&A, the writer said that he and whomever it was that helped him co-write the ‘Eagle Eye' screenplay were in the process of writing a sequel to Blade Runner, and had already contacted the producers of the original, etc., etc. This is probably a load of empty words/wishful thinking on his part, but I for one am appalled by just the notion of a Blade Runner sequel, and thought you'd be as well, so I thought perhaps you'd like to look into this yourself and perhaps use your soapbox to get some fanboys a little pissed, as well. If not, then at least you have a scoop."

The writer in question is Travis Wright. Apparently Wright and John Glenn were working on the project together. Glenn tells the site that he's no longer on board though and when he and Wright were working on it both came to the conclusion that they should just let the original be - so stopped working on the sequel. So why then did Wright bring it up at the Q&A? Doesn't sound like he's given up on it to me.

Now remember, no studio is attached, so this is far from a go picture, but there's more than a possibility that Warner Bros will at least read the screenplay, let alone consider it, because of who wrote it.

More on this when and if it comes.
