Don't Do This, Harrison Ford

by Regina Small

Film newsy site Twitchfilm reports that Harrison Ford is “in early talks” for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner sequel. You might remember Blade Runner as the stunning poetic meditation on the ultimate impermanence of existence. It is a film that says “we cannot possibly know how things will turn out.” Except now we will.

A reboot or prequel might have felt ill-advised, but a sequel with Ford ostensibly reprising his role as Rick Deckard is a move that feels almost inevitably disappointing and terrible. Like there are maybe a few ways that can be done right, and so very many that will inflict pain on us all. OR MAYBE IT WILL BE WONDERFUL. [Via.]
