After retuning to the world of ALIEN in the fantastic, yet ultimately flawed PROMETHEUS, visionary director Ridley Scott will soon return to another of his seminal works with a sequel to 1982s sci-fi classic BLADE RUNNER. Very little is known about the forthcoming follow-up but with the original a notoriously troubled production for all involved, it was widely expected to take a different direction and away from Harrison Ford’s cult character of Rick Deckard – the replicant-hunting hero of the futuristic thriller (who may or may not have been a replicant himself).
That now may not be the case as Ford, who is currently promoting his role in another sci-fier, ENDER’S GAME, has confessed that he’s spoken the Scott about the soon-to-shoot sequel.
We’ve been chatting about it. I remember [the first film] with ‘complication’ but I’m not there to generate nostalgic moments, I’m there to do a job of work. I quite understand that everyone has an ambition when they come into a film and everyone’s ambition may not be so focused on the same thing. I truly admire Ridley as a man, and as a director and I would be very happy to engage again with him in the further telling of this story.
It’s a comment that could excite fans and suggests he could be nailed on to return! What do you guys think?
