Martin Scorsese is known for his crime dramas, but he was once interested in adapting Phillip K. Dick’s science fiction classic before Ridley Scott.
Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is considered one of the greatest science fiction films of all time, but it would've been very different had Martin Scorsese directed it. While some cannot fathom Blade Runner without Scott's iconic direction, there were several attempts to adapt Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? before Scott got his hands on the material. In fact, Dick's 1968 novel had some studios showing interest in adapting the novel as early as 1969.
Jay Cocks went on to co-write Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days, which also explored complex science fiction themes. Scorsese would later go on to work with Cocks on The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York. While the two films that Scorsese and Cocks would collaborate together on were very different from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the collaborations showcase the potential of Scorsese's unmade Blade Runner.
