BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Harrison Ford Could Appear In Blade Runner 2

Full disclosure: this is not news. This is just the reporting of an off-hand remark Ridley Scott made about a film that's not even written yet. But hey, it's a quiet morning because it's Memorial Day in the States, and anything we hear about this particular project is exciting. So here we go: Scott has told The Independent that there may be a place in his new Blade Runner for Harrison Ford.

This is categorically not to say that the film will be the further adventures of Deckard, meaning that, if Ford were even willing to return to a role that, shall we say, isn't one of his favourites, he wouldn't be the centre of attention. "I don't think it'll be Harrison starring," says Sir Ridders, "but I've got to have him in it somewhere. That'd be amusing..."

That's it. Full quote. Warned you it wasn't much. What's interesting is that it doesn't actually contradict what seemed previously to be a flat denial of any potential Ford presence. When asked last year whether the film would be about Deckard, Scott's response was, "Not really." That's still more-or-less the answer, but doesn't now seem to preclude Ford's involvement, though it may be small.

Alcon Entertainment's Andrew Kosove meanwhile, said in February that he thought Ford's return was "extremely unlikely". But he also said, "In advance of knowing what we’re going to do, I suppose you could say yes, [Ford] could [return]..."

Original Blade Runner co-writer Hampton Fancher (re-christened Happen Faster in 1982 by an impatient Scott) is currently at work on the new film, which is expected to be a Prometheus-like expansion of the Blade Runner universe, rather than a straight-up sequel. We'll have some proper news stories for you when they start arriving. And probably a few more like this one...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
