It's a fall morning in 2016, and on a cavernous soundstage in Budapest, Harrison Ford-wearing a gray button-down shirt, dark jeans, and a Ford-tough grimace-is shooting a crucial encounter in Blade Runner 2049. For the first time in more than three decades, Ford is reprising his role as Rick Deckard, the piano-plinking, hard-drinking cop from Ridley Scott's 1982 Blade Runner. The 75-year-old actor has endured several on-the-job injuries over the years-this is a guy who had a chunk of the Millennium Falcon fall on his leg-but he shows little sign of wear as he sprints through Deckard's almost tomblike condo, shoulders pumping vigorously and a wolfish dog galloping by his side. In today's scene, Deckard is being pursued by a special agent named K (Ryan Gosling), who bursts methodically-perhaps even robotically?-through Deckard's marble wall like a slimmer, grimmer Kool-Aid Man. But every time Gosling smashes into the room, it terrifies the pooch, who scrambles out of frame before Denis Villeneuve, the film's 49-year-old French-Canadian director, can call, "Cut!"
