It's been a while since we've last heard something official about the new
Blade Runner film, which will have Ridley Scott (director of the original movie, which starred Harrison Ford) return to the sci-fi/dystopian universe. Lately, Scott has been promoting his new sci-fi film
Prometheus (which sees him returning to the
Alien universe), and in a lengthy interview with
The Daily Beast, he updates on the current status of the
Blade Runner sequel/spin off.
"Funny enough, I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we’ll definitely be featuring a female protagonist."
It was previously rumored that Harrison Ford could return as Deckard in the new film, though that rumor was debunked (though Scott expressed interest in working with Ford again in the future). Scott's next project following
Prometheus will be
The Counselor (where he reunites with Michael Fassbender, after previously working together on
Prometheus), which will begin production this summer. But it's definitely possible that Scott will get to work on the new
Blade Runner movie afterwards.
