Sean Young talks Blade Runner 2

Fomner replicant says she's had a meeting with the film's producers

Sean Young has said that she's had a meeting with the producers of the planned sequel to 'Blade Runner', but she's still not sure whether or not she will get the call.

Young, who played the replicant Rachael in Ridley Scott's iconic sci-fi film, did say that she would be up for reprising her role, however.

Speaking to film site Crave while promoting new film 'Jug Face' at Sundance, she said: “I did meet with them, but I think at that point they just wanted to meet me and I don’t think they have any plans of using any of the original people, although I can’t say for sure.

“I do think, let me just say it right here, I do think it would be a disappointment to the audience not to have Rachael in it but you know what, folks in Hollywood make mistakes all the time.”

There's been little revealed about the sequel plans, other than the fact that Ridley Scott is officially working on it.

Harrison Ford, who played replicant hunter Deckard in the 1982 original, is rumoured to be involved, but if so would not be the film's primary focus.

Perhaps more interesting, though, are the rumours that the worlds of 'Blade Runner' and 'Prometheus', his 'Alien' series prequel, may meet.

An 'easter egg' in the DVD release of 'Prometheus' appears to link the two, sending sci-fi fans into a frenzy of speculation.

The easter egg, a memo from 'Prometheus' character Peter Weyland, appears to suggest that his mentor was none other Eldon Tyrell, the doctor who created the replicants, and contains numerous references to 'Blade Runner'.
