Harrison Ford in Early Talks for Blade Runner

Holy Holy!!

Personally I would prefer if he was not involved. I have nothing against Harrison Ford of course, he had a powerful screen presence in his day and has starred in some of my favourite all time movies (B Runner, S Wars and Raiders of course) BUT every time I see him in a film these days he looks distant and fails to engage me with his character. On the other hand, if he is involved them I am sure RS could prove me wrong

The main problem with him coming back is: I find difficult to believe that people really ages in that future.

The thing about the Harrison Ford news is that he was incredibly unhappy on the set of BLADE RUNNER. And later he poo-pooed the movie in public as being about " a guy who fell in love with a toaster.." (The Replicants are referred to as "machines" in the movie by Deckard). Now that his stardom is on a steady decline (he is no Clint Eastwood I guess), he may have to kow-tow to Ridley for a role, LOL!

Ford and Scott have long since made-up. This is why, after years of avoiding anything to do with Blade Runner, Ford participated in the documentaries made for the BR:Final Cut release. I personally get the feeling this is not true as, if I understand correctly, the Ladd Company were only able to secure the rights to the "universe" of Blade Runner, but could not use any of its pre-established characters; something that was worked out in order to prevent people from "remaking" the original film. Also, on release of the Director's Cut back in the 90s, Scott officially confirmed that Deckard was supposed to be a replicant, so I'm not sure how they would get past age thing without using horrible CG de-aging.

i will like to see an aged deckard ... matured ... pondering about the big questions of the first movie while being involved in other adventures . I thought that Ford was cooked ..but his performance in Cowboys and Aliens made me smile more than one time .

ford doesnt need the money which hopefully means it would be made with a strong story - same as the original. i hope its done right and not another cg reliant venture. there were very little effects in this classic - dont give us an unecessary lukewarm serial!! oh and give us sean young back, one sexy lady right there.
