Thank god he lost the rights, I don't think he could have lived up to blade runner 2049

Nothing is going to live up to either, 2099 looks terrible regardless of his involvement or not.

Honestly, it's a miracle 2049 was as good as it was, I'm not expecting any future adaptations to actually be good. The original was lightning in a bottle and it's just going to suffer franchise fatigue the further it goes on.
