The Blade Runner sequel is moving forward, and it has found its director!
NewsDenis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario) has been tapped to direct the long-rumored sequel to sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner. Principal photography is set to begin in summer 2016. Which means that this thing is even closer to actually happening. Good or bad?
Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard, although how big his involvement will be in the film remains to be seen. We do know that the sequel will take place many decades after the original.
Hampton Fancher, who penned the first Blade Runner (with David Peoples), and Michael Green wrote the script for the sequel based on a story by Fancher and Ridley Scott.
The ORIGINAL Blade Runner is, of course, actually a wonderful novel called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by sci-fi grandmaster Philip K. Dick. If you read this site, you might have heard of him once or twice.
