While doing press for his latest film, the biblical epic Exodus: Gods And Kings, Scott said the Blade Runner 2 script was going well, and that he was very happy with the results. He also mentioned that Harrison Ford, who is set to reprise his role as 'Deckard' , is also very pleased with the script, calling it the "best thing he has ever read".
"I sent him [the script] and he said "wow, this is the best thing I've ever read." It's very relevant to what happened [in] the first one. I'm not just doing a sequel with lots of action and see how far we can go with the special effects, because you can't really. [With] Blade Runner we kind of landed on a somehow very credible future. And it's very difficult to change that because it's been so influential with everything else."
