Original Blade Runner<\/em> writer Hampton Fancher<\/strong> is in talks to pen an idea for an untitled sequel to the classic sci-fi film for director Ridley Scott<\/strong> and studio Alcon Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Alcon and Scott are mum on plot details but they confirm that the story will be set \u201csome years after the first film concluded,\u201d according to a statement released Thursday.<\/p>\n

Blade Runner<\/em>, which hit theaters in 1982 starring Harrison Ford<\/strong>, was an adaptation of the Phillip K. Dick<\/strong> story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?<\/em> Fancher shared screenplay credit with David Peoples<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The movie was a box-office disappointment when it was first released but has since become one of the most important films in the sci-fi genre. Ford played a \u201cblade runner,\u201d an expert on artificial humans, who is brought in to hunt down several rebellious “replicants.”<\/p>\n

Fancher, an actor who appeared on shows such as Gunsmoke<\/em>, Rawhide<\/em> and 77 Sunset Strip<\/em>, wrote fiction on the side. Despite co-writing Blade Runner<\/em>, his screenwriting career never took off, although he did pen the 1989 crime movie The Mighty Quinn<\/em> and wrote and directed the 1999 serial killer thriler The Minus Man<\/em>, which starred Owen Wilson<\/strong> and Sheryl Crow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Scott is producing with Alcon\u2019s Broderick Johnson<\/strong> and Andrew Kosove <\/strong>as well as Bud Yorkin<\/strong> and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Frank Giustra <\/strong>and Tim Gamble<\/strong>, who run Thunderbird Films, are executive producing.<\/p>\n

Fancher is repped by APA and attorney Matt Saver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
