Of course. The value of this (as in any RPG set in a universe based on an existing property) is that the rule book and supplements will provide lots of additional background for the universe that wasn't already defined. I remember playing the West End Games Star Wars RPG in the 1990s before the prequels and I loved how the books expanded upon that universe beyond the original three movies.

Those actually created big parts of the SW EU! Stuff that was written for those games got authorized into canon. Star Wars also produced a ton of new material for its EU. It was a living universe, ripe for gaming.

Blade Runner is 2 movies. (Or 14 or something, if you count all the directors cuts)

Ah, a true Connoisseur ... hat tip to you!
> Blade Runner is 2 movies.

And a video game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(1997_video_game)

But do they actually consider the original novella, with Mercerism, the mood organ, artificial sheep, and the San Francisco setting?
I do not think so (but the Kickstarter has not started yet).
