British film director Ridley Scott has agreed to direct a new instalment of Blade Runner, almost 30 years after the original.


It is not known if Harrison Ford will pick up the role of Deckard again
Producers from Alcon Entertainment said the film will not be a remake but a prequel or sequel to the first one.
The company said Scott has not decided between the options yet.
Blade Runner, which opened in 1982, starred Harrison Ford as a police officer forced out of retirement to hunt for humanoid robots in Los Angeles in 2019.
Although it had disappointing box office sales, it has since become a cult sci-fi classic.
Released three years after Alien, the film solidified Scott as a major talent in the genre.

Ridley Scott has been nominated for three Oscars
The 73-year-old director and producer directed Robin Hood last year, and has just finished Prometheus with Charlize Theron, which will come out in 2012
Producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson said: "It would be a gross understatement to say that we are elated Ridley Scott will shepherd this iconic story into a new, exciting direction.
"We are huge fans of Ridley's and of the original Blade Runner. This is once in a lifetime project for us."
No casting decisions have been made as of yet, and no release date has been fixed.
