When it comes to sci-fi movies and TV shows, few directors have given as much to the genre as Ridley Scott, who has single-handedly spearheaded some of the most famous franchises of all time. The first franchise that immediately comes to mind is Alien, which first started with Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic, and it is still going strong to this day with Scott’s steady producing hand through his production banner, Scott Free. After going on hiatus from the sci-fi genre in recent years thanks to his work on historical epics like Gladiator II and Napoleon, Scott will return to the world of sci-fi this August for his next feature film, The Dog Stars. Josh Brolin and Jacob Elordi will headline the film, along with Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, and Benedict Wong. Another famous Ridley Scott sci-fi franchise, albeit one with many fewer entries than Alien, is Blade Runner. Ridley Scott directed the original Blade Runner movie starring Harrison Ford all the way back in 1982, and the franchise went on ice until 2017, when it returned with the legacy sequel, Blade Runner 2049. With the returning star power of Harrison Ford paired with one of Ryan Gosling’s finest performances, Blade Runner 2049 debuted to widespread critical acclaim — it’s still regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi sequels in history. Nearly 10 years after Blade Runner 2049 first hit theaters, the film is still without a streaming home in America, but it’s still one of the most popular VOD purchases on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV. Ridley Scott did not direct the film, but he did produce, and passed directorial control to Denis Villeneuve. Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for. You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things. The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you. You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely. Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards. The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way. Almost 10 years after the premiere of Blade Runner 2049, the story will continue with a new Prime Video original series, Blade Runner 2099, starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer. Prime Video has yet to officially announce a release date for Blade Runner 2099, but it has been confirmed that the series will premiere before the end of this year. Amazon is hosting a Blade Runner panel at San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and it’s expected that the studio will reveal the first look at the show along with an official release date. Check out Blade Runner 2049 on VOD platforms like Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the Blade Runner franchise.
