Intriguing! Perhaps I find some time to read it all later...

And hey Rado, I think you should stop by more often. It's somehow neat to see another member having nick like my first name is... :P

Kind of boring in the beginning. Not much further than that, though. I'm not impressed so far.

-EDIT-
Eh...it's kind of mediocre. Though it's probably a draft and still needs revision, I could see it going into production and getting touched up. Definitely needs polished, but certainly not a bad start.

Aw come on. It wasn't that bad. It had its moment. Granted, there weren't a lot. But still...

That's the thing. Hazeldine used only the good moments. He started with the book and told an original story.

I don't think the script is flawless - the character of Sarah is severely underdeveloped, the plot falls apart in the third act, and the transition from [SPOILER] to Saul is very hard to buy for me, personally. At the same time, however, I can see why this piece got the author noticed.

I totally agree. That's why I state the it needs work. With a bit of character development and further story development (mostly the last act) it could actually be decent. Not good, but decent. It would need the personally touch of say...ridley scott ;) to beef up the movie.

I'd argue it could even be good, but with this script, unnecessary. There are no earth-shattering revelations, nothing to make us look at the original in a different way.

The more I think about it, the more Scott's "Deckard as an immortal Nexus 7" idea appeals to me. It would be bizzare and a bit uncalled for, but at the same time, with something new to say.

Thanks for the link! I've read all three Blade Runner sequels by Jeter. I don't think any of them would make a great sequel, but I'll read the script for the fun of it!

I liked it. Certainly better than the Jeter novel and I like that it expands on the Nazi idea that Dick suggested in his book.

As others have said, it does need some work. I think some of the dialogue seems out-of-character, but I think the story works well and goes in an interesting direction.
