Seems a new version of this classic movie is in the works:

"EXCLUSIVE: After revisiting his classic Alien with the upcoming 3D Fox film Prometheus, Ridley Scott is committing to direct and produce a film that advances his other seminal and groundbreaking science fiction film. Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of Blade Runner. "

Why does everything need to have a sequel or remake of it done eventually? Why wont hollywood let good works stand on their own?

...because Hollywood is run by executives. There is a lot of money in refreshing franchises, if you can do it well.

Personally, I like it.

I don't know, the first film was pretty ground breaking, well acted and produced. I'd hate to see them mess with a classic and screw it up. Hopefully Ridley Scott hasn't lost his touch and will put out a quality sequel.

I'm more curious as to what Philip K. Dick would think.
