Each sentence conveys the same meaning but is slightly different in structure and word choice to keep things interesting.
Back then, Ford hadn’t yet achieved the level of fame he now enjoys, despite having played Han Solo in George Lucas’ 1977 movie Star Wars and Indiana Jones in Steven Spielberg’s 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Scott found it necessary to persuade others about his choice for the lead role.
In simpler terms, “The director stated that Harrison Ford wasn’t yet a famous star; he had just piloted the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars. At the time, I recall my investors questioning, ‘Who is Harrison Ford?’ To which I replied, ‘You’ll soon discover.’ And as it turned out, Harry became my main actor.
The movie, titled Blade Runner, narrates the story of Deckard (Ford), a Blade Runner character, as he chases down and retires four rogue Replicants who had hijacked a spacecraft and subsequently returned to Earth in search of their creator.
In another part of the GQ video, the director of Gladiator II shared his aspirations for creating a fresh universe through the science fiction movie.
Scott reminisced about spending five months working alongside a talented playwright named Hampton Fancher, who had adapted the novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’. Upon reading the book, Scott felt as though there were ninety separate stories within the first twenty pages and concluded that it was too intricate.
He went on to say, “However, I had a conversation with Hampton in which I remarked, ‘Your tale is exquisitely set in an apartment, it’s an intimate narrative where a ‘hunter’ develops affection for his prey. I admire your pacing, the flow of your dialogue, and your dialogue itself, as well as the concept. I’m eager to see what transpires once he steps outside.’ After that point, things moved swiftly.
In the end, the movie Blade Runner grew into a series with a follow-up film and television spin-offs. Later on, Ford once again stepped into the character for the 2017 release of Blade Runner 2049.
