Brooding cop Rick Deckard will again be played by screen icon Harrison Ford, if Alcon Entertainment honchos have their way, as a major offer is pending for the 71-year-old to reprise his role in the Ridley Scott sequel to Blade Runner.Rico says he'll go to see both. But, while Ford is looking a little long in the tooth, Sean Young would look old by now:
“We believe that Hampton Fancher and Michael Green have crafted with Ridley Scott an extraordinary sequel to one of the greatest films of all time,” said Alcon Entertainment bigwigs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, according to Variety. “We would be honored, and we are hopeful, that Harrison will be part of our project.”
The storyline of the sequel is a closely guarded secret, but will certainly be set several decades after the Academy Award-nominated original, which took place in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles.
Ford has already agreed to return as Han Solo in Star Wars Episode VII, and sci-fi fans are desperately hoping the same will be true for Blade Runner, which is based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
