Harrison Ford, Sequel King: First Star Wars, Now Blade Runner

Share

Yes it’s true. Harrison Ford is re-teaming with Ridley Scott for the sequel to “Blade Runner.” The 1982 film is now 32 years old and a cult classic. This is Ford’s second sequel announcement since he agreed to play Han Solo, assisted living president, in “Star Wars 7.” What’s next? “Witness 2”? Anyway, Alcon is financing with Warner Bros. Expect a trilogy with spin offs as this is the new Hollywood where branding is all.

PS Weird wording for the press release. It says “An offer is out to Harrison Ford…” Not a definitive. Is their way of forcing him to terms? What if he doesn’t accept the offer? Whoops! That would be embarrassing. We’ll what happens…
