This Week's Top Story
RIDLEY SCOTT RETURNING TO BLADE RUNNERRidley Scott surprised science fiction fans when he signed on with 20th Century Fox to direct Prometheus, the Not-an-Alien-Prequel (that sounds exactly like an Alien prequel). This week, Ridley Scott did something very similar, and this time, the subject is an even Holier Grail than the Alien franchise. Scott has signed with Alcon Entertainment (The Blind Side, The Book of Eli) to direct a follow up film to his 1982 classic science fiction/film noir hybrid Blade Runner. There's no word yet as to whether this new film will be a prequel or a sequel. Harrison Ford is not expected to be involved with this film. But really, most fans who understood the hints in Blade Runner probably shouldn't be surprised that the 69 year old star wouldn't be returning to play Deckard (presuming, of course, that the popular theories about Deckard are true). For those that don't know, Blade Runner was set in a dystopian future Los Angeles where a massive corporation has perfected the science of bioengineered androids called Replicants, who possess superhuman attributes but have very short lifespans. Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, Brion James, Edward James Olmos, Joe Turkel and Sean Young also costarred in Blade Runner (and they were all, in this writer's opinion, awesome; probably all of their careers' best roles, or close to it). There's no writer for the new project yet. Alcon Entertainment producer Andrew Kosgrove expects that the earliest that the new movie could start filming would be sometime in 2013.
