BREAKING:Ryan Gosling is in negotiations to star in Alcon Entertainment’s sequel to Blade Runner, the film that will be directed by Prisoners helmer Denis Villeneuve. Ridley Scott, who directed the original classic, is aboard as executive producer. Harrison Ford, who starred in the original film, reprises is role as replicant hunter Rick Deckard.
Really surprised they're ditching the "Deckard is a replicant" thing. Seems to me like both Ford and Scott have both hinted or outright stated that's the case.

Deckard-the-replicant was always a terrible, terrible idea, which nullifies the central conflict of the film. "Every man dies, not every man really lives"--Deckard knows that Rachel is doomed but chooses a life with her anyway. That decision is meaningless if he is also a replicant.

That's from Braveheart. Quote from BR is "its too bad she won't live, but then again who does?" Which I think makes sense if he's a replicant. The unicorn doesn't make any sense as a human except some flight of imagination, but then why does Olmos leave Deckard an origami unicorn later?

I think the best argument for him being human is Batty's monologue and the fact that he seems to have become more human than Deckard. The scene makes less sense if Deckard's a replicant. It's kind of a mess, really. But a good one.

Goddammit.

Not to me, not really. Takes most of the meaning out of the ending.

I think they should've waited a few more days to release the Batman vs. Superman trailer, you don't release it the day after the Star Wars trailer was released.
