WANTED: Christopher Nolan for BLADE RUNNER sequel or prequel

Shortly after Warner Bros. has announced the big news about the plan of making the sequel and prequel to Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic BLADE RUNNER, more new details are surfacing. And this time, it gets juicier.

One of the producers, Andrew A. Kosove, has expressed great interest that he wants Christopher Nolan to helm his continuation of the BLADE RUNNER saga.

"Our friend Christopher Nolan who we did Insomnia [with] would be the pie in the sky for us. To be clear I think what Christopher Nolan did - and to be clear, we cannot remake Blade Runner. As a legal matter, we have not bought the remake rights we have no interest in remaking it we can only do prequels or sequels. But I think the methodology that Christopher Nolan brought to Batman is precisely what we aspire to whomever the filmmaker is, whether Ridley Scott comes back and joins us or it's someone else. It's precisely what we aspire to with Blade Runner, that's the template for us."
