As unlikely as it seems, Ridley Scott really is planning to follow up his Alien-connected new film Prometheus with a sequel to Blade Runner,
his other famous and hugely influential sci-fi film that starred
Harrison Ford as the replicant-hunter Deckard. Well, first he's planning
a more conventional drama called The Counselor, but the Blade Runner
sequel plans seem to be up and running-- to the point that Scott is
willing to talk off the cuff about just how involved his former star
would be.
Talking to The Independent in the UK, Scott confirmed that the new Blade Runner
film will be a sequel, not a prequel, and that though Harrison Ford
won't be starring in the film, he might pop up in unexpected ways in the
film:
. "I don't think it'll be Harry [starring]. But I've got to have him in it somewhere. That'd be amusing.
Amusing? Is amusing enough reason for him to get the famously cranky
Ford back on set? Is it enough reason to convince Ford to come back at
all? There's no way of knowing, which is why Scott is basically just
messing with us by saying this. With the original film's screenwriter
Hampton Fancher in negotiations to join the film, things seem to be coming together pretty well, even though we kind of never thought we'd see the Blade Runner sequel actually happen. But with or without Ford, is this a movie you want to see? The anticipation for Prometheus is so huge that if Scott pulls it off, we'll all be begging for him to keep making sci-fi movies. But is a Blade Runner
sequel the way to go forward with that? Or should he pick an original
project to avoid the risk of tarnishing one of his best films? Sound off
in the comments below.
It the characters in the new film happened across Dekker, now much older, that would answer that point. If Dekker is still around it implies a decades old culture of dealing with the 'artificial people' and what they are doing to better their situation.
I like Blade Runner but I thought is was a little heavy handed and forced. I've never seen the 'Director's Cut'.
in Jones yet I dug him in Star Wars.I need to see the 1st Blade Runner
Side note: I've done quite a bit of work in the Bradbury Building in downtown LA where the final fight scene was filmed. Cool building even if it is haunted and a bitch to work in because of the historical restrictions.
One of those wrought iron squares on the elevators (lower left) cost $5,000.00 to replace in 1990. The corner stone was layed in 1925 and when I last worked there it still had about 90% of the original bubble glass in the doors and windows.
