- Robin Wright in Final Talks to Join Harrison Ford in 'Blade Runner' Sequel
The actress will join Ryan Gosling and
Harrison Ford in the sci-fi project, being directed by Denis
Villeneuve. House of Cards star Robin Wright is in
final negotiations to star in Alcon Entertainment’s sequel to Blade
Runner.
The actress will join Ryan Gosling and
Harrison Ford in the sci-fi project, being directed by Denis
Villeneuve, the acclaimed filmmaker behind drug drama Sicario.
Other plot details are being kept under
wraps, but it is known that the story takes place several decades
after the conclusion of the 1982 original and that Ford is reprising
his role as replicant hunter Rick Deckard.
There are three major female roles, and
Wright has nabbed one of them. The casting was rumored for weeks, but
one thing that held up negotiations was Wright's schedule for the hit
Netflix show.
Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the
original) and Michael Green wrote the new screenplay based on an idea
by Fancher and Ridley Scott.
Principal photography is scheduled to
begin in July with Warner Bros. distributing in North America and
Sony Pictures Releasing International handling the rest of the world.
