I haven't yet seen the new one yet but it's on my list. I came across some facts about the movie, some of them are pretty cool:
The film’s producers originally wanted Dustin Hoffman to play the film’s hero.
Daryl Hannah (Pris), in the scene where she meets genetic designer J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson), is seen slipping on the pavement as she runs away and smashes her elbow through a car window. The actress actually chipped her elbow in eight places.
The term “replicants” is never used in Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, the 1968 sci-fi novel by Philip K. Dick upon which Blade Runner is based.
At various stages in pre-production, Blade Runner was known as Android, Mechanismo and Dangerous Days.
Cassidy used her own pet snake in her scenes

That is awesome!
Dustin Hoffman... wow that would have change the feel of the whole movie. I like him but there is no way that would have worked.
LOL, it would have been different!
