<BR>1) it was directed by Ridley Scott, using a screenwriter and art directors he personally approved. He still works with Terry Rawlings in the editing room, so that's okay.
<BR>2) it starred Harrison Ford

You are asking for a CGI monstrosity.
While RS is a great art director, I would never trust him to direct people. He is not that good. As a comparison, I use the real film noir directors of the past. Even after all this time, he is not that good yet.
The great elements of BR have nothing to do with RS awkward directorial style. His direction resembeled more the style of Gerry Anderson than Orson Wells.
In a more modern example; remember his Oscar winning Gladiator? The tigers still look fake.
Directors like Terry Gilliam, Joel Coen and even Sam Raimi would be far better.
Come to think of it; Clint Eastwood might be the best director for this kind of film.

A sequel might be the better route to go - it could open up new characters and different "worlds". We've seen what Los Angeles could look like in 2019 - What would an off - world colony look like? What would a small town in 2019 look like? What does Deckard see out of his window now, as opposed to what he saw before he met Racheal?
The Vangelis sountrack is awesome - but one of the things that really grabbed me about the teaser trailer was the use of the 30's-ish song for the background music.
Again just my two cents!
consider
Maybe early adventures before deck stopped being a br. But
I'd rather not see deck declared as a replicant in a part 2 like movie!
Hey ,what if the workers in the movie "outland" are replicants?

That's true, but .....
We also know that our expectations and desires never ever would be fulfilled.
I am convinced that it would be a failure.

Don't be to sure that another blade runner movie will never be put together.....,I can remember when, some years after terminator 1 ,some kid was "telling a story" about a new terminator coming out,talking about how in part 2 he's going to lift up that smashing machine that flattened him and they were going to take it from there,of course that's not how terminator 2 turned out, but never the less ,there was a part 2 and a 3. I didn't even believe there would be a terminator 2 ,it seemed imposible,boy!, was I wrong!.
Another br movie ,well ,it would have to be just right enough for every br fan and how that would work would take alot of magic,..Alot of magic!
Wait a minute ,that's Ridley's middle name .

The Matrix and Batman are both Warner Bros. properties. Blade Runner is owned by the Blade Runner Partnership, but have renewed close connections with Warner Bros thanks to the smash hit DVD.
The threads in this forum all point to one very important truth about extending the Blade Runner world: a live-action sequel is pretty much impossible, 25 years on. A reboot is doable, with new actors, but why? The original, particularly now that we can see the director's original intent in BR:TFC, is just too good to reboot.
However: in animation, and particularly in anime, where so much of it bears influence from Blade Runner anyway, from Bubblegum Crisis to the present, the world that first appeared on the screen in 1982 can be revived so that facets of it can be examined more closely.
I am hoping that Batman: Gothic Knight is a sales success so that something like this can possibly be considered.
