Man you already know with the original writer and Ridley Scott as the director, this is going to be a terrific sequel. It will have a lot to live up to–if you love the original Blade Runner like we do–but they are definitely moving in the right direction.

BREAKING: Hampton Fancher is in talks to join director Ridley Scott in developing a new version of Blade Runner for Alcon Entertainment. Alcon is acknowledging the film is a sequel, and that it takes place some years after the first film concluded. Fancher cowrote the original Blade Runner, based on the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

Alcon Entertainment had the rights to the 1982 science fiction classic that starred Harrison Ford, but excitement on the project really escalated once Deadline revealed last August that Scott would come back and revisit the source material as director. Scott’s next film is Prometheus, a film that started as a prequel to his classic Alien, which he and Fox consider to be an original film. That’s different from Blade Runner, which at this point is being considered a sequel, even though Alcon has gone on record that the next movie won’t focus on Ford’s character, who hunted replicants until he fell in love with one. According to Alcon, Scott and Fancher intended Blade Runner to be the first in a series of films, but that didn’t happen. Now they are taking their crack at the second installment.

Scott is producing with Alcon cofounders Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove, as well as Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. Thunderbirg Films’ Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble are exec producing. Fancher is repped by APA.

We were long past-due for a photo shoot, and this is our best yet! Nice timing too, because a bunch of the photos showcase our new t-shirt, which will be available in our store very soon. It’s a celebration bitches, mazel tov!

Big thanks to Alejandra, Nikki and Michelle for their amazing input and work on this shoot!

The weather is great, and Summer is just around the corner.

It’s the perfect time to crank up some chilled out surf rock tunes.

Beach House and Best Coast couldn’t agree more.

They both released their new albums today.

The albums provide the two sides of the transition from Spring to Summer.

Beach House brings the dreamy loveliness of frollicking in a meadow surrounded by flowers in full bloom while Best Coast provides a call to arms for the beach-bound.

Nicki Minaj talking about her sex drive and seuxal conquests? Etc.

Thanks to Tender Wolf for the video picks!

RAC Exhibit B. Lovely.

RAC does terrific work.

Swatch Sports Summer Collection 2012

SIX FANTASTIC NEW WATCH DESIGNS FROM SWATCH COMBINE ACTION, INSPIRATION AND IMAGINATION TO CREATE EXTREME STYLE STATEMENTS

Swatch presents its latest Sports collection for the summer of 2012. Aligning with its previous releases, these watches feature one of the brand’s best selling models, the New Gent, with all-over patterns inspired by various action sports. The Swatch Sports Collection stylishly confirms the iconic Swiss watch and jewellery maker’s long-standing enthusiasm and support for international Action and Extreme sports. Swiss watchmaker, Swatch, opened its doors back in 1983 with an idea to combine top-quality craftsmanship with affordable prices in an effort to fight against the rise of Japanese-made products. Now one of the more dynamic watchmakers today offering unique innovations.

Six striking watches have been designed by members of the Swatch Proteam – the highly skilled riders proudly sponsored by Swatch. These dynamic creations combine the technical excellence and design innovation for which Swatch is world famous, to convey some of the breathtaking energy, spirit and motion associated with the exciting disciplines of snowboarding, surfing and FMX. With highly personal design inspirations behind the Swatch Sports Collection ranging from classic surf films to animal prints, or nature and bikes, the six men and women from the Swatch Proteam collectively prove their design flair and creativity – colourfully expressed through drawing, photography or customizing – are as impressive as their sporting talents.

You have to give Snoop credit for being a creative entrepreneur and staying on his hustle.

After releasing several buzz singles “Fly Away” and “Silhouette” off her “Pieces” EP, Harlem Singer/Songwriter Tanya T6 is currently finishing up her new mixtape, “Watch Me Take It” dropping July 4, 2012, which is led by the single “World Is Mine”.

Wow. The Jane Doze have been fairly unstoppable with their latest releases. Terrific stuff!

Good song. Action Bronson kind of has a Ghostface vibe, but maybe that’s just us. We love Ghostface though.

Always been partial to Nas over Jay-Z. Forthcoming on Def Jam // 7.19.12.

Given its title, and several other factors, you can rest assured it’s safe to back this tune. Thx to The Fader for the up.

The expression “wavvy” seems to be most popular in NYC. No?
