As the market buzzes about how international distribution rights to the Harrison Ford starrer could
come up for grabs, insiders say demand is high for old-school action pics the bigger, the better
By Tatiana Siegel
By Scott Roxborough
select group of international indie distributors might still get a crack at bidding on Blade
Runner, the biggest and most hotly anticipated
of what has become a tsunami of reboots and sequels
to 1980s action franchises.
Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) is helming
Alcon Entertainments sequel to Ridley Scotts
ground-breaking sci-fi film, with Ryan Gosling to
star and Harrison Ford returning in a reprise of
his role as replicant-hunting cop Rick Deckard
from the 1982 original. The film is set to begin
shooting next year.
Most thought Warner Bros., which is releasing the
film stateside and has a first on international rights,
would take Blade Runner off the market and do the
films entire global day-and-date release in house.

Q&A
DIRECTOR
Peter Landesman
forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu, the Nigerian-born doctor who discovered a disease in the brains of NFL players.
Id followed the strange deaths of pro football players for
years, sensing something odd going on, says Landesman, 50, who spent
most of his career as an investigative journalist and war correspondent.
The Sony film (the writer-directors second after 2013s Parkland), which
stars Will Smith, could gain attention both as an awards contender and
as a criticism of the NFLs efforts to reduce injuries. Ahead of its Nov. 10
world premiere at AFI Fest, Landesman, a married father of two, spoke to
THR about watching autopsies with Smith, dealing (or not) with the NFL
and how being a journalist shapes his storytelling.
