‘Blade Runner 2’ to Shoot Next Year Without Ridley Scott?
Those of you wondering how Ridley Scott was going to juggle Martian, Prometheus 2 and Blade Runner 2 have your answer.
Scott, doing promotion for Exodus: Gods and Kings (in theaters on December 12), tells Variety he will no longer get behind the camera for the Blade Runner sequel. But also shared some other little juicy bits, such as what we can expect from Harrison Ford’s character.
“[Screenwriter Hampton Fancher and I] talked at length about what it could be, and came up with a pretty strong three-act storyline, and it all makes sense in terms of how it relates to the first one.”
And this is where Ford comes in: “Harrison is very much part of this one, but really it’s about finding him; he comes in in the third act.”
While Scott won’t direct, he does reveal that the plan is to begin shooting next year. I’m quite curious as to whom the replacement will be – but if Scott isn’t actively involved, I’m not sure how much I care.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
