ETonline.com
Director Ridley Scott is ready to direct a new version of Blade Runner. The geektastic news comes from Deadline , which reports that the Oscar nominee has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of the iconic sci-fi film with Alcon Entertainment, which acquired the rights back in March.
Based on Philip K. Dick 's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Scott's 1982 film starred Harrison Ford as a retired Los Angeles detective in 2019 tasked with tracking down a quartet of Replicants -- perfect androids practically indistinguishable from humans -- who are illegally on Earth seeking to meet their maker and extend their expiration date.
