Blade Runner
Ridley Scott’sBlade Runnercontains several secret connections to two other sci-fi franchises.
Along with sharing connections toAlien,Blade Runnerwas also connected to a film released over a decade later calledSoldier.
The Blade Runner universe goes far beyond the Rick Deckard movies.
Several other projects expand the franchise and bridge the gaps between the films.
It’s telling that both Batty and Todd are abandoned by their creators when they’ve outlived their usefulness.
Blade Runner is considered one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.
However, it also started an unhealthy trend for Ridley Scott.
What Does This Mean For The Future Of These Franchises?
WithSoldierthis is understandable to an extent, since there was never a sequel to the 1998 original.
The key question many fans ofBlade RunnerandAlienhave is, of course, if there’ll ever be a crossover.
