Straight to DVD.
SOLDIER
Produced as a sem-sequal to Blade Runner, same writer and it takes place in same universe, but none of the same characters or locations. Set in space, it follows the titled soldier when he is replaced by an upgraded model and is dumped on a garbage planet. Epic in scope but a small focused story about what it means to be human. The public were only thirsty for epic blow it all up, like Independence Day, during the nineties and this did not connect with audiences. However, with the success of recent films, like Moon and District 9, I think this epic could find an audience at last.
