\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner<\/strong> sequel is about to get a rewrite from Green Lantern<\/strong> co-writer Michael Green. The writer is currently in negotiations with Alcon Productions to work on a screenplay turned in by original Blade Runner<\/strong> writer Hampton Fancher.<\/p>\n

Green has a number of genre credits to his name including working on an in-development version of The Flash<\/strong> comic book adaptation for Warner Brothers and a Fantastic Four reboot for Fox. More recently he had worked on a draft of Steven Spielberg’s just-shelved science-fiction epic Robopocalypse<\/strong> and Spielberg’s Moses biopic Gods And Kings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The film’s plot remains under heavy guard, with the only thing known is that it takes place years after the 1982 original film which starred Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer.<\/p>\n

I know that the thought of someone who was involved with the Green Lantern<\/strong> film might cause concern among some folks. But I would contend that the screenplay was the least of that film’s problems and his draft might not even be responsible for what problems the final film’s screenplay did have. I would take the fact that he has worked on two Spielberg projects as a better indication of his skills.<\/p>\n
