Clearly there is a call for Harrison Ford to reprise his character in Ridley Scott's planned sequel for Blade Runner. But Alcon Entertainment, the studio behind the film, continues to deny that there are any talks happening that would include the actor's presence in the movie. Scott, however, continues to say that there is a possibility that we could see Ford come back.

But a recent interview with The Independent confirms that no talks have happened, but that isn't stopping Scott from voicing his request to see Harry in the Blade Runner sequel [...]

I feel like the phrase 'event television' is a bit of a misnomer. Very few shows ever fully rise to that title. In fact, the only show I feel that's ever fully risen to event TV is Lost. After a new episode, it was talked about for days on end.
