The big news in entertainment today is that Harrison Ford, who has not made a good movie in 15 years (after his role as the bad guy in Robert Zemeckis's horror-noir What Lies Beneath, which hit the screens in 2000, his career entered a slump that has yet to hit bottom), is to return to the role of Rick Deckard in the sequel of one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made, Blade Runner.

The Harrison Ford, who is 72 (he was 40 when he first played Deckard), is one of the two bad things about this planned sequel—the first being the sequel itself (there is no need to revisit the world of this 1982 film because, as many of the megacities of our day have made so clear to anyone with eyes, we now live in the world of Blade Runner, it is no longer in the future). Also, Ford already repeated the role of Deckard in the 2009 movie Crossing Over—in the future, which is now, the replicants turn out to be illegal immigrants from Central America.

The only good thing about this sequel is that the talented French Canadian Denis Villeneuve is slated to direct the picture. With him on board, we can at least expect the movie to be sufficiently moody.
