Femme-Fronted Blade Runner Sequel in the Works
There’s been some rumblings on the net over the past few months regarding a supposed follow-up to 1982’s Blade Runner. We’ve known since last August that Ridley Scott was tapped to join the project, but a recent press release reveals that the original screenwriter, Hampton Francher, is in talks to reunite with the director to write and develop the sequel.
The press release states that the film will take place only a few years after the original. And no, Harrison Ford will not be returning to reprise his role as Rick Deckard.
In a recent interview with The Daily Beast, Ridley Scott had this to say:
“Funny enough, I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we’ll definitely be featuring a female protagonist.”
