Wishing actor Harrison Ford a speedy recovery following the crash of his single-engine plane last week from which his injuries have been deemed non-life threatening, hopefully this won't diminish his recently-announced involvement on, among other things a long-awaited sequel to the 1982 sci-fi noir cult classic, Blade Runner. In lieu of this and with the approval of director Ridley Scott, Warner Bros., the British Film Institute and the Blade Runner Partnership have commissioned a trailer for the 2007 'Final Cut' version ahead of it's theatrical release in the U.K. set for April 3, which you can now watch below, courtesy of Ignition Creative London.
Based on late author Phillip K. Dick's original 1968 publication, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner is set in November in the year 2019, with Ford in the role of semi-retired LAPD detective Rick Deckhard, who, in the course of being pulled back to duty as a "blade runner" to hunt down and "retire" rogue humanoid "replicants" following a bloody mutiny that led to their illegality, finds himself protecting and falling in love with Rachael (Sean Young), a replicant who believes herself to be human. The film was a commercial deterrant in North America but gained success overseas and earned cult status among adoring sci-fi fans for becoming one of the most visually stunning and influential movies to date, in addition to, among other things, receiving preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library Of Congress.
Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, who wrote the first film are writing the sequel with Michael Green for Sicaro helmer Denis Villenueve to helm next summer with Scott executive producing.
