Harrison Ford Asked To Star In Blade Runner 2

I am getting worried about this.

No necro thread unless you bring Dowly with you.:hmmm:

I think Hollywood has totally run out of original ideas (shocker!). I think we should purge all of Hollywood and get some fresh blood in there. Go get your typewriter Steed, and we'll write our own movie.:hmmm:

Yesterday in a store I held a DVD collection box in my hands that featured Prometheus, Alien, Aliens and Alien 3.

Scott talked rubbish back then, and the movie was a redo of Alien 1, more or less. Not to link it to Alien, simply is not possible.

Reminded me of the 90s movie Congo. Bad movie, threatening to become a bad failure and the cashdesks. 20th Fox then decided to launch a monumental marketing campaign, with the result that everybody went to the movies to watch this sensation, and afterwards everybody agreed that it was indeed a bad movie. But financially, Fox was saved from disaster. I think it was 20th Fox.

And because of that bad example with Prometheus I fear that Scott will ruin the Blade Runner heritage the same way. Soon will be renamed into the Bald Runner, I assume. Its not as if Scott has not done some bad movies, too, he is one of my favourite directors - but he is not immune to failing.

He should do The Forever War instead, what has become of that since he bought the rights and told how much it meant to him since half his life?

I've just read this thread and you've mentioned your wish for Scott to do the Forever War 4 times in 4 years. Message received and understood. :O:

:har: :har:

They didn't get it right the first time or what?

Hollywood has fallen for their own delusion if they think they can continually rehash old box office and still make a buck.
Then again, it could just be a ploy to negate past royalty contracts by replacing every film ever made with a redux.:yep:

The first 7 times to be precise - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Blade_Runner

And now Ridley is going to toss seven more cuts in the can?

Fourteen is the charm I guess. :roll: But old Harrison Ford might fold up like an Edsel in the process.:haha:

Harrison Ford. Worst reason to necro a thread.

You can just see old Ford in his zimmer frame saying.."Son hold my gun for me it's too dam heavy for me now."

I'm a big fan of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series. While Sean Patrick Flannery played Indy in his teens, the original version (removed from the DVD version, which I own but hate) had bookends narrated by actor George Hall, playing Indy in his 90s, alternately entertaining and boring everyone he could find with his wild tales.

I see no reason why Indy in his 70s couldn't still be doing what he does best. And I still want to find out why the old version had that eyepatch!

Lucas snatched his eye out?

And sold it to Disney. :D

And what's his 'best'?
Acting? :haha:

We will disagree on that one Steve. :salute:
