Harrison Ford Asked To Reprise Role In ‘Blade Runner’ Sequel

Alcon Entertainment has an offer out to Harrison Ford to reprise his role of Rick Deckard in its Ridley Scott-directed sequel to Blade Runner.

Original screenwriter Hampton Fancher and Michael Green are writing the new one, which takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original.

Alcon acquired Blade Runner‘s film, television and ancillary rights in 2011 from producer Bud Yorkin to produce prequels and sequels of the sci-fi cult classic. Yorkin will serve as a producer on the sequel along with Alcon’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will co-produce. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO’s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers. Alcon actually sent a press release out that it offered the role to Ford (which is unusual in itself), but Ford gave an interview recently saying he was anxious to see the script. He has expressed interest in reprising the role in the past, but no deal is set as he has yet to read the script.

RE 1960s Batman:
The movie in 1966 was hilarious... the shark hanging off his leg, the bat shark repellant... the whole “BAM” “POW” WHAM” thing. As a kid, I loved it.

RE Bane and Khent” Face it. Khent was attracted to the face mask, and that’s all. Keep that little psycho on a leash!

Frankly, this “Nero” guy seemed like he was almost a complete rip-off of the villain from “Nemesis.” To me, it was a total joke, only surpassed by his ship blowing up an entire planet (Vulcan). I would’ve called “Faux Trek: Into Dorkness” high camp, but that would involve it actually having an element of entertainment.

This scene pretty much sums up what J.J. Abrams (played by Jeff Daniels) did to the Trek franchise (played by the porcelain throne):

Yep! Like I've said here several times, the new Star Wars flicks are 100% going to S-S-SUCK!

Believe it or not, I haven’t seen the new Star Trek movie... just don’t have an interest in it.

I wish I could un-see it... or rather, un-make it.

Call it Frame Walker (i.e. he's old).

Okay, I get that having 200 million dollars won't stop you from getting old, but can't it at least get you a decent haircut?

Haha!!! What’s that poster that put up here at times? “That which has been seen... cannot be unseen.”

I remember when the South Park guys did an episode about George Lucas and Steven Spielberg raping Indiana Jones (after that 4th movie abortion came out). I was hoping for one about JJ Abrams raping Star Trek...

I can’t find it, but I did find this one which competes for ultimate, “What has been seen...”

It is NSFW (and probably not safe for anywhere)...

If this wasn't your reaction, it didn't do the job.
