Quentin Lengelé from Belgium has made a 3D model of Deckards Apartment and he’s still adding furniture and other items to it. His goal is to be able and use it together with Oculus Rift. It’s still not completely done and could take a while (if you’re interested in all of what you could find in Deckard’s Apartment, then take a few minutes and visit the Deckard’s Apartment thread at Propsummit). He has done a small preview and it’s very impressive.

Sir Ridley Scott will not direct "Blade Runner 2"
In an article in Varitey we get some more news on “Blade Runner 2”. First of all, it seems like Ridley will be producing Blade Runner movie (but not directing it) and that Harrison Ford will be returning as Rick Deckard (Good luck making him a replicant with a four year lifespan) and will come in “the third act” and the story which is written by Hampton Fancher is “a three style story act and it all makes sense in terms of how it relates to the first one,” says Scott”

Den of Geek among others reports that the sequel to Blade Runner is now written and also “damn good” according to Sir Ridley Scott. The sequel is written by old Blade Runner script writer Hampton Fancher (together with Michael Green). Harrison Ford seems to be involved in the story of the current script, it’s not clear exactly how.
Ridley Scott has two more Sci-Fi movies comming in the future. The Martian (based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir) which will star a stranded Matt Damon on Mars is currently scheduled to come out in the autumn of 2015.
Then there’s Prometheus 2 which also has its script written. The release date was recently pushed back a year (it’s now set to debut on the 4th March 2016).
