Ridley Scott’s long-mooted Blade Runner<\/strong><\/a> sequel\/reboot\/prequel thing (like the run up to Prometheus<\/strong><\/a>, it seems to change every day), has begun negotiations with Denis Villeneuve, the Academy Award nominated director of Prisoners<\/strong> and Enemy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Filming is due to kick off summer 2016 from a script by Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original) and Michael Green, based on an idea by Fancher and Ridley Scott.<\/p>\n

Harrison Ford, as if we need to tell you, is getting back inside the trench coat.<\/p>\n

“We are honoured that Harrison is joining us on this journey with Denis Villeneuve, who is a singular talent, as we experienced personally on Prisoners<\/strong>,” commented producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson  in a press release.<\/p>\n

“Hampton and Michael, with Ridley Scott, have crafted a uniquely potent and faithful sequel to one of the most universally celebrated films of all time, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with this amazing, creative team.”<\/p>\n

Based on the tense noir of Prisoners<\/strong> alone, Villeneuve is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n
