Ridley Scott has not made decision regarding whether or not he will direct the upcoming untitled Blade Runner project. The director, who previously was reported to have decided not to take the position, said in a new interview with Yahoo! Movies U.K. that he had not made up his mind in regards to the directing gig.
"I don't know about [not directing 'Blade Runner 2'] yet," he said in a new interview to promote his new Christian Bale-starring flick "Exodus: Gods and Kings". When pressed further, Scott admitted that he was reluctant to hand the movie to others because it was his "most personal" film.
"The script is very, very good. Very good. I wouldn't know [what sort of director we'd want]. It's a hard one to track because it's a very personal piece of my work," he added. "['Blade Runner'] may be one of the most personal pieces I did. I got so beaten up for it, I said I'd never try that again. But here we are. It's sitting there ready to be made."
Harrison Ford will return to play bounty hunter Rick Deckard. Production is set to start in 2015.
In other news, Deadline reports that Corin Hardy is set to direct the remake of "The Crow", taking the position from F. Javier Gutierrez. Set to start filming in spring with a script provided by Cliff Dorfman, "The Crow" which is adapted from James O'Barr's work tells the story of a murdered man who wants to avenge people who killed him.
