HOLLYWOOD ¨C Harrison Ford admits he is about to spout a cliche, but goes for it anyway: ¡°It really doesn¡¯t feel like 35 years since ¡®Blade Runner,¡¯¡± he says with a sheepish grin.
Ford was 39 when the film, inspired by Philip K. Dick¡¯s 1968 novel ¡°Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,¡± first came out, but he was already well established as a Hollywood hero.
¡°I can still remember, vividly, trading complaints with (director) Ridley Scott about certain plot elements,¡± Ford, now 75, recalls. ¡°We didn¡¯t have a clue this would become a cult classic, or that there¡¯d be a sequel in, wow, 35 years.¡± He chuckles a little. ¡°Finally, right? Awfully long time to wait for a sequel!¡±
