Ha, I remember that game, I remember being pumped for it a long while before actually playing it. I remember being slightly disappointed but still liked it as I was a Blade Runner fan and they at least did a faithful job with the material.
I could see this being more something I'd get off GOG, not as a remake, just to play it as it was when it released. If anybody was going to go through any trouble with this license I'd rather them just make a brand new game with the license.
It's a Warner Bros owned movie. They're making that Mad Max movie and game, Monolith just made great use of the LOTR license for Shadow of Mordor. Maybe WBIE will start making use of their film licenses for games. Maybe someone will want to use the Blade Runner license on a future project if these movie-game ideas prove fruitful on their end.
I hear a sequel to the movie is in the works, that someone acquired a license to produce it. Though I also hear that about lots of things that never get green lit. But, if it actually turns out to amount to anything, and if it can be successful (that's already a lot of IF), maybe we can see an interest in developing a Blade Runner game, and by that extension maybe a remake of the original PC point and click adventure.
