Looks like Scott will not be directing 'Blade Runner 2' (will be producing though), which means, based on everything I have been reading/assuming, he will be moving on from 'The Martian' to 'Prometheus 2: Paradise'. At least, I am hopeful 'P2:P' is next on his directing list. Not sure how I feel about 'Blade Runner 2' in someone else's hands, but I guess we'll find out. From [url=https://variety.com/2014/film/news/ridley-scott-exodus-gods-and-kings-christian-bale-1201363668/]this[/url] Variety article... [i]When “The Martian†wraps later this winter, Scott already has a fair idea what he’ll be doing next, though it likely won’t be the much-anticipated “Blade Runner†sequel he developed with the original film’s co-screenwriter, Hampton Fancher. “We talked at length about what it could be, and came up with a pretty strong three-act storyline, and it all makes sense in terms of how it relates to the first one,†says Scott, who adds that fans can expect to see Harrison Ford back in the saddle as the futuristic gumshoe Rick Deckard. “Harrison is very much part of this one, but really it’s about finding him; he comes in in the third act.†Per Scott, that Alcon Entertainment production should go before the cameras within the next year, but with someone else directing (he’ll produce).[/i]

i just hope he picks a director that can deliver what he delivered, all the subtleties, all the nuances and the hardcore violence that originally set this film apart from anything that was around at the time Foshkittlebinono :)

Just heard about this and I am pretty disappointed by this announcement but I'm hoping a decent director will step up to make this film good.

It's beyond silly that Ridley won't be directing. Although, I have been very pleased with where Prometheus 2 may be heading. And with BR2, I guess we will all see for ourselves soon enough.

Ridley has certainly been incredibly gracious to state the least; in regard to his press-releases, lately. And the photographs for this VARIETY article were simply brilliant. He is a very convincing Dragon, and undoubtedly this is something to feel good about. =D
