Ridley Scott says there may be a small role for actor in planned sequel . . .

Blade Runner stillEarlier this year it was rumored that Harrison Ford was in discussions to appear in the planned sequel to the 1982 classic Blade Runner.

Now director Ridley Scott, who will be directing the sequel as well, has revealed in an interview that:

“I don’t think it’ll be Harry [starring],” he said. “But I’ve got to have him in it somewhere. That’d be amusing.”

In the meantime it has emerged that the planned project will indeed be a sequel and not a prequel or remake. It will also feature a female protagonist.

If the 69-year-old star does make an appearance in the project as Deckard (the role he originally played) it would mean that the character wasn’t a replicant as many speculated since replicants only have a limited lifespan.
