I have already presented two reasons why this film can be made. The points of the story that could be viewed as controversial are disguised to a point that audiences will not be alienated by them. Thus, any reservations about content in the film should not overpower the potential box office receipts that the film will obtain. Those receipts will be secured by a story that is gripping and conveys a strong message of what it means to be human. Audiences everywhere are willing to accept that kind of story.
Critical success is also sure to follow.
Thus, word of mouth should propel the film to strong box office numbers if nothing else. The story itself is not enough to drive any film though. That story needs to be placed in experienced and capable hands. The talent package which has been assembled to bring Blade Runner to life has demonstrated with past success that they are more than capable to tell a story of this nature. The star and director are both very familiar and acclaimed figures when it comes to science fiction films.
