While Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott both appear serious about their Blade Runner sequel, which is expected to come along in 2016 or so, at least one of the original film’s stars doesn’t expect to turn up in the new movie.Asked what he thought about the sequel during a Reddit AMA in support of his new John Sayles movie Go For Sisters, the Battlestar Galactica star told fans, “I am very grateful that they have decided to explore that world again. I have not been approached and I don’t think I will be. I think the storyline will approach a different story in that world. I don’t think it will have Deckard or Gaff in it.”It’s interesting that he doesn’t think Deckard will appear, in spite of widely-reported stories that Ford will be involved. It could be speculation on Olmos’s part or, given the fact that sequels and spinoffs have been toyed with over the years, it’s possible he knows or has heard rumors of some previous iteration and he’s just applying that here.
