“I worry we’d end up with a black hole of a sequel filled with the likes of Channing Tatum, the nadir of leading men in today’s Hollyweird.”
Ford in the Bryant role. Keep Sean Young as his squeeze toy. That is a subplot which comes into play later on in the movie. The Deckard role I would give to Benjamin Cumberpatch (star trek into the darkness) Want someone recognizable but not a big star and can pull off the noir.
Willem Dafoe runs the company. The Hauer role is tough to fill. Maybe Billy Zane. Or switch Zane and Cumberpatch. I would stick with Olmos as Bryant’s sidekick.
As for women, I couldn’t fathom a guess. Maybe Natalie Portman.
Oh, no. Please make it stop.
