Harrison Ford Not Returning to ‘Blade Runner’

According to Deadline, Alcon Entertainment, the house working with Ridley Scott to bring Blade Runner back to theaters, is DENYING that Harrison Ford will return to the role of Rick Deckard, which he made famous in the original film. For some reason, Andrew Kosove‘s (who runs Alcon Entertainment with Broderick Johnson) response doesn’t feel as […]

Super Bowl XLVI Movie Trailers

With companies–literally–spending millions of dollars for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl, some may wonder what they’re spending the money on. That answer is: viewers.
