Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 3 of 5)
24 May 2012 8:28 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Nicol Williamson as Merlin in Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981, UK):
Turning in by far the best acting in Boorman’s epic, Williamson sets the bar for all other interpretations of the Merlin character. Best known as an acclaimed stage actor with a history of incredibly unprofessional behavior, this is Williamson’s most memorable film role and will have you chanting the “charm of making” in no time.
Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982, USA):
As an android seeking to prolong his short life, Hauer’s unique screen presence is perfectly utilized in director Scott’s atmospheric science fiction milestone. Hauer brings a sort of “alien” quality to the character Roy Batty and really makes this role a truly superior piece of casting.
Other notable Rutger Hauer performances: Nighthawks (Bruce Malmuth, 1981, USA), The Hitcher (Robert Harmon, 1986, USA).

What Red Scorpion can teach us about guerrilla combat
10 February 2012 7:39 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
With Red Scorpion out now on Blu-ray, we take a look at what this 80s action fest can teach us about guerrilla warfare…
Standing at six feet five inches tall, Dolph Lundgren was the strapping alpha male of 80s cinema. After landing a tiny role in the James Bond movie A View To A Kill in 1985, the latter half of the decade saw the chemical engineering graduate, ex-bodyguard and Karate champion at the height of his rippling powers.
Lundgren punched Apollo Creed to death in front of James Brown in Rocky IV in 1985, starred as He-Man in Masters Of The Universe in 1987, and two years after that, headed off to Namibia to shoot his toughest assignment yet: the action epic, Red Scorpion.
Apparently fated to play Russian characters – his brief appearance in the 007 flick was as a Kgb henchman – Lundgren plays Nikolai Rachenko, an elite Soviet soldier sent on a mission to Africa. »
Producers Behind New ‘Blade Runner’ Deny Harrison Ford Rumors
6 February 2012 5:35 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
This past weekend saw the internet get into a collective fit of excitement, thanks to news that Harrison Ford had entered “early talks” for Ridley Scott‘s Blade Runner sequel/prequel/spin-off/whatever. Deckard was coming back!
Not so fast, say the producers. Speaking to Deadline, Alcon Entertainment heads Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson were “adamantly denying” any of these reports, ones which they deemed “absolutely patently false” and “couldn’t sit by.” Expanding on this, Kosove was quoted as saying the following:
“To be clear, what we are trying to do with Ridley now is go through the painstaking process of trying to break the back of the story, figure out the direction we’re going to take the movie and find a writer to work on it. The casting of the movie could not be further from our minds at this moment.”

Harrison Ford in Talks for Blade Runner Follow-Up
4 February 2012 12:04 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
After Prometheus, which returns Ridley Scott to the original world of his seminial sci-fi horror classic Alien, the director is expected to move forward on a follow-up to another one of his timeless sci-fi adventures Blade Runner, with the Untitled Blade Runner Project.
Last August, producer Andrew A. Kosove claimed that the movie would have nothing to do with Harrison Ford, nor the character of Rick Deckard. The movie was said to be a total reinvention that would be completely fresh, with an all-new cast. At the time, it was not being called a prequel or a sequel, but a follow-up in the same vein as Prometheus. A spin-off, if you will.
Today, word has leaked that Harrison Ford has actually entered into early talks to appear in this new film. It is not known in what capacity, or if he will resume the role of Deckard. Twitch Film, from which this story originated, »
