Comment on Sir Ridley Scott won't be directing BLADE RUNNER 2 after all...

Scott will produce the sequel, expected to star Harrison Ford. Read the full article on AICN We've assumed for a long time that if the BLADE RUNNER sequel ever got off the ground, Ridley Scott would be the dude to direct it. However, in an interview with Variety, he let it slip that that might not be the case.   The interview doesn't have a direct quote from Sir Ridley, only this vague note: "Per Scott, that Alcon Entertainment production should go before the cameras within the next year, but with someone else directing (he’ll produce)."   He also finally explained how Harrison Ford's Deckard will play a part in the sequel:   “Harrison is very much part of this one, but really it’s about finding him; he comes in in the third act.”   So, like STAR WARS VII, BLADE RUNNER 2 is all about new, young characters looking for the dude who was the hero in the previous entry.
