Blade Runner 2: Ford And Scott Are Talking...

Actor Harrison Ford's involvement in the currently in the pipeline Blade Runner Sequel may have taken a few steps forward.


Original "Blade Runner" co-scribe Hampton Fancher had been at work on the script for new film for director Ridley Scott. Scott Z. Burns was in talks to write the script at one point. Now Green Lantern co-writer Michael Green has been hired to take on the job of  reworking the script

Fancher and David Peoples adapted the script for the 1982 sci-fi classic based upon author Philip K. Dick's story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Little is known about the plot, but according to reports, "it will be set some years after the conclusion of the influential first film."

While chatting with IGN, Ford says that he is open to return and indicating that he's already spoken with Scott about playing Rick Deckard again:

"We've been chatting about it. I remember it [the first "Blade Runner"] with complication, but… I’m not there to generate nostalgic moments. I’m there to do a job of work and I quite understand that…  Everybody has an ambition when they come into a film and that everyone’s ambition may not be so focused on the same thing. I truly admire Ridley as a man and as a director and I would be very happy to engage again with him in the telling – the further telling of this story."

Scott, Broderick Johnson, Andrew Kosove, Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will produce the pic.
