Harrison Ford confirmed for 'Blade Runner' sequel
 

Hmmmm........not sure about this??

(CNN)Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the "Blade Runner" sequel. "Prisoners" director Denis Villeneuve is in talks to helm the Alcon Entertainment film.

The film is scheduled to start principle photography in the summer of 2016. Hampton Fancher, who co-wrote the original, and Michael Green have written the screenplay, which is based on an idea from Fancher and Ridley Scott.

The story takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original, which centered on a man (Ford) working as a blade runner who was tasked with chasing down machines called replicants.

Alcon Entertainment acquired the rights to "Blade Runner" in 2011 with the intention of making both prequels and sequels to the iconic science-fiction thriller. Bud Yorkin will serve as a producer on the sequel along with Alcon co-founders Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson.

Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEOs of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.

Villeneuve most recently directed the crime thriller Sicario, staring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro. He also directed Canada's Oscar-nominated French-language film "Incendies" and "Prisoners," staring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Ford next will be seen in Lionsgate's "The Age of Adaline" and will reprise his role as Han Solo in "Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He's repped by UTA.

Finally, a DeBerg thread worth reading!

So, are they going to acknowledge that he was a replicant?

That's my question as well.

Supposedly, Ford said the script is the "Best he's ever read" and he's notoriously picky.

Ugh.... no good will come of this. None.

This is the same Ford that did Cowboys vs Aliens "for the paycheck?"

LMAO

I don't get it, either and Ridley Scott is only producing.

If he's good as Han Solo in December I think he can pull off Deckard one more time.

He was good in "42", which was the last film I saw him.

Oh he's gonna KILL Han again, how dare you of all people doubt that.

TURN IN YOUR CARD NOW.

The dude is not what he once was. I see him in interviews and wonder how many drugs he takes to keep it together on a film set.

A character like Han is going to be like riding a bike for Ford... he didnt need any "sense memory" or any other kind of method acting mumbo jumbo to play Han.

Han was Harrison, he played himself basically.

Seeing him and Hamill onscreen together again is going to be a massive jimp, I'll probably need to take extra pants to the theater.

And Harrison is not what he once was. Watch him in interviews.

I am concerned...
