Harrison Ford may be reprising yet another beloved film character he made famous decades ago. In late April it was confirmed the 71-year-old actor would pick up a Lightsaber once more to play Han Solo in the JJ Abrams-directed reworking of Star Wars. Then on Thursday Deadline reported Ford was being asked to step back into his role as Rick Deckard in the sequel to his 1982 science fiction thriller Blade Runner.

Comment from the story...

“Maybe they’ll call it Bladeshuffler.”

I have been hooked on Korean dramas lately. Some of them have special effects but its usually very short sequences because it’s expensive I guess. These shows are produced fast and cheap, many of them making 2 episodes per week.

Could you imagine the pampered princes and princesses of Hollyweird working that hard? They don’t make nearly the money that US actors make either.

One of the greatest sci-fi films at it’s time. Still a classic.

William Sanderson, the actor who played J.F. Sebastian, is one of my favorite character actors. He was great in Last Man Standing, Deadwood and tons of other roles I can’t think of right off.

I know this is a minor nitpick that would go right past most people, but it is a blatant example of how the media never bothers to get accurate facts. As long as it is sort of close to what people generally think to be true, then its close enough.

News stories about "real" issues, like politics and major events, are replete with this exact sort of thing: inaccuracies that are just sort of in the ballpark of reality but just fundamentally untrue.

I wish more people would realize, when reading a story about anything in the news, that its chock full of "Han Solo with a lightsaber" type "facts".

HAHAHA! I forgot about Last Man Standing. I own that one.

Very good point!

Will Sean Young be back?

I think she's still locked up in a mental institution in her Catwoman costume.

I have always been in the minority; I think the voice over version is the best. Have seen both and just like the way the voice over works. Different strokes I know. Still a great movie either way.

Could have old decrepit guy with the still young looking fembot. Wait, that is Stirling the racist basketball 🏀 owner!

Hah! You just reminded me that Godzirra is out tonight!

"Hah! You just reminded me that Godzirra is out tonight!"

Oh no, there goes Tokyo.

Have you seen Sean Young lately? She’s a hard drinking wreck. To quote another Harrison Ford movie “it ain’t the years, sweetie- it’s the mileage”.

This is a bad one, the worst yet. I need the old blade runner, I need your magic.
We've got a skin job in the White House, Deckard.

If you’re suggesting Rutger Hauer is dead, he isn’t. Just checked.

"If you’re suggesting Rutger Hauer is dead, he isn’t. Just checked."

No, his character died in the movie.

I think Sean reached a "Hard End Date" a while ago.

Don’t know about now, but she used to be hottt

"Don’t know about now, but she used to be hottt"

Emphasis on "used to be"
