pashnak Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Actor Harrison Ford says he has been talking to director Sir Ridley Scott about appearing in a sequel to cult sci-fi movie Blade Runner. The Indiana Jones star told a games and entertainment website that he and British film-maker Scott had "been chatting about it". "I truly admire Ridley as a man and as a director," he told IGN.com. "I would be very happy to engage again with him in the further telling of this story," added the 71-year-old star. Two years ago, producers announced that Sir Ridley was planning a follow-up to his mysterious 1982 tale, which blended sci-fi and noir detective novels. Alcon Entertainment said the film would be a prequel or sequel, rather than a remake of the original movie - which was based on Philip K ****'s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Ford played Rick Deckard, a police officer who hunts down genetically engineered lifelike robots, known as replicants. It co-starred Sean Young, Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah. At the time, producer Andrew Kosove said it was unlikely Ford would return in his role as Rick Deckard. "In no way do I speak for Ridley Scott, but if you're asking me will this movie have anything to do with Harrison Ford? The answer is no. "This is a total reinvention, and in my mind that means doing everything fresh, including casting." Despite receiving two Oscar nominations for special effects, the original Blade Runner was a sleeper hit - it received lukewarm reviews at the time of its release but flourished on home video. In 1993, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

DirtyBoy Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Such a great movie....reminds me of the original days of HBO when there were like 5 movies that played constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longboard8 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 incredible movie. incredible. I still quote that movie. It was one of my deceased brother's favorites also. I believe I liked 2001 A Space Odyssey better than he. I also particularly enjoyed the original The Thing with Kurt Russell, which I consider science fiction, though some would call it horror. I also recommend the Electric Sheep written version of Blade Runner. Excellent read. http://www.thereelbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/the-thing001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavinFelth Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I never really watched that movie because it looked like something that would be on sic-fi at 2 in the morning. Although in retrospect I should give it a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longboard8 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If you are into CGI or Keanu Reeves, you won't like Blade Runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavinFelth Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 So in other words everything but the acting is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
