Happy Inception Day - Roy Batty

If your a Blade Runner fan you may remember that today is an important date in the story line - Roy Batty's inception date. Roy, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer, was a Nexus 6 replicant.

Story of Roy's birthday here:

Dig out your Director Cut version and watch it again, it stands up very well to the passage of time.

There are rumours that Ridley Scott is developing the long awaited sequel to Blade Runner, set 30 years in the future and bringing Harrison Ford back as Deckard. Perhaps this will address the possibility that Deckard was a replicant himself.

Based on Philip K Dick's story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". For the young, this was written before Android was an operating system.
