Production Company behind BLADE RUNNER sequel denies talks with Harrison Ford...

Hey folks, Harry here...   Mike Fleming is breaking that Twitchfilm's report about Harrison Ford being in talks for the BLADE RUNNER project that Alcon is doing with Ridley Scott is apparently wrong.  OR so completely premature.   You see, according to the story that Fleming got, they're at the conceptual phase - and it sounds as if Ridley is wanting to pull a PROMETHEUS - where he tells an entirely separate story, but in the same universe and possibly a different kind of story set there.  I just hope it isn't as simple as just another BLADE RUNNER case.   But hell, who am I kidding.   I'd see that too.   I mean.  Cast Michael Shannon as a replicant trying to escape an alcoholic beaten raw Michael Fassbender in a killer cool overcoat and Spinner?   Yeah, I'd be there.   Or maybe have old Edward James Olmos, now the Blade Runner bureau chief and how he runs BLADE RUNNERs.   Like 45 years further into Los Angeles' future.   I would love that.   But for now, what this story is telling us...  is they don't have the story in place, they have their options open, which means...  we've got a while till this movie is made.   And goddamn I want to see whatever Ridley and crew come up with.   I just dearly hope that Syd Mead and Douglas Trumbull are involved in the making of the film.   Syd is so incredibly important to that universe as is Douglas Trumbull.   Mead is currently working with Neill Blomkamp on ELYSIUM, which is why I'm frothing at the mouth for ELYSIUM.  And Trumbull had tremendous results in Malick's TREE OF LIFE as the Visual Effects Consultant.   Just knowing that they were involved with Ridley on this project...  it'd just be, ideal.  Right?
