There are few movies as iconic and as beloved by fans of science fiction as Ridley Scott's 1982 film, "Blade Runner." Even today, Scott's dystopian vision of the future feels fresh and threatening, and the story he built within it remains a nightmare ride. If you ever wished you could spend more time in that neo-noir landscape then you're in luck: a "Blade Runner"-inspired web series called "Purefold" is in the works.

Ridley, Tony and Luke Scott are developing the project under their RSA Films shingle, and are working alongside independent studio Ag8. The series will be made up of five to 10 minute shorts set one or two years in our future, roughly a decade before the time period of Scott's 1982 film. The plot will eventually carry into the film's era, with the plot being shaped along the way based on audience feedback, similar to Ag8's British sitcom "Where are the Joneses?" Read more...
