The unthinkable is happening again. Ridley Scott revolutionized the science fiction genre with Alien and Blade Runner. The countdown is on for Prometheus, the sequel that evolved into something new with Alien DNA. The cast is entirely new. Scott committed to a new film set in the Blade Runner universe – will Harrison Ford be joining him?
Twitchfilm reports that “Harrison Ford has entered early talks to join the new Blade Runner. While it is in the early stages and it is quite possible that it won’t work out…”
Harrison Ford played Rick Deckard, a Blade Runner, a special police officer charged with “retiring” replicants – artificial beings. If Ford is involved can he still play Deckard given the ending/themes of the first film? I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so that’s all I will say.
Boom Studios publishes beautiful a graphic novel version of the Phillip K. Dick story”Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep” the basis for Blade Runner.
For the fascinated fan – here’s two recommendations from this obsessive fan!
Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner is a compelling behind the scenes story of how this influential Science Fiction classic was made.
Blade Runner: The 5 Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition features all versions of the film and rich documentaries.
Thanks to Dark Horizons for the story.
