Harrison Ford admits he is about to spout a cliche, but goes for it anyway: "It really doesn't feel like 35 years since 'Blade Runner,'" he says with a sheepish grin.
Ford was 39 when the film, inspired by Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," first came out, but he was already well established as a Hollywood hero.
"I can still remember, vividly, trading complaints with (director) Ridley Scott about certain plot elements," Ford, now 75, recalls. "We didn't have a clue this would become a cult classic, or that there'd be a sequel in, wow, 35 years." He chuckles a little. "Finally, right? Awfully long time to wait for a sequel!"
