It is one of Hollywood's classic films. So fans of Blade Runner will be delighted that Harrison Ford is set to reprise his role of Rick Deckard in a newly-announced sequel to the 1982 smash-hit. The 72-year-old actor will return to the cult classic in the screenplay written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green and directed by 'Prisoners' filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.

What? Decker will be searching for geriatric replicants? Will there be lots of lens flares? And a line of merchandise? I want to see Edward James Olmos in a flying wheelchair.

Okay. Although I don’t hold out much hope that it will be good I still bet that it will be better than Avatar2.

Ben Jr. is studying Bladerunner in a college film class.

His “professor” claims that Ford’s character is also a replicant.

He was hilarious in that last episode of Galavant.

Crap. Can’t leave a great movie alone. Just like every other “sequel” of late, this one will most likely be an awful mess.

I hope it’s good... but I doubt it will be.

When lightning strikes once, leave it alone.

The final director's cut makes it subtly clear.

The Duelists, Alien, and Blade Runner were his best, and his first three.

Gladiator was good, but that’s where he started getting hooked on CGI.

Also enjoyed Blackhawk Down.

Some did not get end-of-life programming. But which ones? Why? plot geeks can add on here.

I found Gladiator completely dour and joyless.

The replicants were supposedly given super human strength and other abilities to enable them to work in mines on asteroids and other planets. But in order to do that they had to shorten their lifespans significantly........................
