Blade Runner sequel - Scott on board/Ford?

If Ford does come back then that was a long four years.

 

i'm sure it will be as entertaining as his Indianna Jones return!

 

Glad that it doesn't seem to be a Jeter Blade Runner project.

 

Funny he hated the movie for years.

 

I don't think he hated the movie but the experience of making the movie which was unpleasant.

 

Another bad idea from Hollywood.

 

I am a huge Blade Runner fan but will be skipping this. I will also skip the special European Cut and then the Directors Cut in the future and once the Final Cut is released I will buy the set of all of them on the format of the day

 

I'm not as excited by this as I would have been say 15 years ago due to recent performances by Scott and Ford. Well make that not excited at all.

Both should retire IMO.

 

My favorite movie of all time but a worthy sequel will be difficult. I await with an open mind though.

 

Yes.... and this could well turn out to be yet another example of a mediocre to downright awful sequel diluting the power and artistic/emotional impact of the original movie.

I agree ...defintely another bad idea from the "suits" of Follywood .

No thanks ...

 

Judging by how that last Alien movie turned out, maybe it's best if they leave Blade Runner alone. I've got no interest in seeing Harrison Ford reprise this role at this stage of his career either.

 

Oh come on! Who wouldn't want to see a Joss Whedon "Blade Runner: Resurrection"?

 

Is Douglas Trumbull doing the special effects? Its the only redeeming part of the first movie for me.

 

With or without Vangelis? (Didn't know there was a Point Break sequel either.)

 

So I guess skin jobs age?

 

Strange but I feel no empathy. So exactly what is a tortoise?

 

If they can just get a 35-year-old clone of Ford, I'll go see it. Especially if the clone doesn't mutter.

 

I don't know about retire, but their recent performances weren't very inspiring. Like many here I am skeptical but feel that it is possible to make another great movie.

 

Didnt they use Ford's son to fill in some extra shots on the re-shot Zhora 'retirement' sequence?

 

Maybe they'll just use CGI to put his face onto another actor ala Tron:Legacy/Jeff Bridges/Clu

 

Agreed.

Some movies don't need a sequel. And Blade Runner is definitely one of them.

2001 was another. And with that, my case is rested...

 

Ridley Scott won't be directing. He will be producing. Harrison Ford will have a smaller role near the end of the film.

Ya beat me to it.

Sure hope they don't screw this up. So many great things about the original, and I love the ambiguity about Deckard.

 

I doubt he 'waited' for anything. Life's priorities change. Besides, he was probably begged to reprise some of his most popular roles.
