Alcon Entertainment has acquired the rights to make prequels and sequels to the 1982 sci-fi classic BLADE RUNNER in the future, which will be oversee by Alcon co-founders Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove. In the meantime, Harrison Ford who acted in the original, has come forward regarding about the new BLADE RUNNER movies. Here's what he had to say below.
"I don't have any feeling whatsoever. It was an interesting part of my professional life, I'm glad I made that movie, I'm glad that it got released without the hideous voice-over and I don't know anything about it. I don't have a judgement about how wise it is to revisit it. I personally think if you're gonna do... The ambition every time that I've been involved in a sequel of a film or a movie that had a number of iterations, I always felt that we were responsible for bringing something new to the characters and to the experience of the audience. If they go into it with the ambition and some very good idea of how to bring something new to it, maybe it'll be successful."
"I wouldn't feel bad if I were not invited to the party, because I would understand they would want fresh blood to be spilled. So there you are. They're making another Jack Ryan movie and I'm not involved. So that's the way it is."
He is absolutely right. Something "new" is all what we want for the new BLADE RUNNER movies. Hopefully that can be achieved if we get to see them materialized in the future.
