WinterSoldier Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Since we're doing other stuff from the Ridleyverse, I'd kill for a set of Mates with Rick Deckard and Roy Batty, bonus points for a scaled down Spinner vehicle. No idea how hard the likeness rights/merch rights would be to obtain. ...yeah I'm not going to lie, I mostly want those two so I can also purchase some Terminator endoskeletons and have my own set of Hideo Kojima's "SNATCHER" Minimates as QC's. I have a ton of love for the movie as well obviously, but I am borderline obsessed with that game.

youbastards Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Merchandising rights for Blade Runner product is a legal black hole, and has been for years. IF the sequel actually happens, that will be our best opportunity for merchandise, but i wouldn't get my hopes up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm sure there's pent up demand for the property given the legal conundrum. Once that gets sorted out, count me in. (And yes; spinners, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm not sure whether Blade Runner was actually as 'great' as I remember it but the two versions of the Spinners (Medicom kubrick) are just beautiful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better. One of the few movies from my childhood that has actually grown with me. I notice something new everytime I watch it (director's cut, that is). I'd be thrilled to bits with any type of merchandising for this classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Found this interesting: "Alcon Entertainment acquired the film, television and ancillary franchise rights in 2011 from producer Bud Yorkin to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic science-fiction thriller. Yorkin will serve as a producer on the sequel along with Kosove and Johnson. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will co-produce. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEOs of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers." I'm wondering if "ancillary franchise rights" includes merchandising rights for the original.

elhonez Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Apparently at the panel at SDCC, Chuck called out Blade Runner as a top property he'd like to do. I am 100% behind the idea, if the aforementioned rights stuff can get parsed. I'm loving the cast of the new movie, which includes Harrison Ford, Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Robin Wright and Ryan Gosling. Seems like the new movie next year would be a good time to do both new & old 'mates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Any chance this property will be announced at SDCC this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Spider Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If the vehicle was made and a cop or two to go with it I would get those. I always need random law enforcement/army mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
