KATY PERRY wants to play Rachel in ‘BLADE RUNNER 2.’ Git R DONE.
Katy Perry wants in on the Blade Runner 2 action. Hmm. Given that I regard Blade Runner 2 as nothing more than the feces-bases elixir of an encore that Ridley Scott is going to use to wash Prometheus down our throats, seeing one of my eternal crushes play Rachael may actually be the only thing to get me excited about this movie. Listen I know that probably sounds crazy but I just woke up and I shudder slightly when even thinking about Prometheus. Just leave me the fuck alone. I am a firework.
While “Blade Runner 2” is still a worrisome specter on the horizon for fans of the original, gaining “Green Lantern” writer Michael Green to pen the screenplay this past spring, it’s still so far away (Ridley Scott’s next filmis the Moses flick “Exodus”) that it’s mostly rumor and speculation that’s going to drive news of the movie for the next little while. It will also give budding actors and actresses a chance to openly campaign for roles in the movie, and one starlet isn’t missing an opportunity.
Thespian and pop star Katy Perry would like to go sci-fi for “Blade Runner 2,” and she hopes that her performances in “The Smurfs” saga will open the door. Really. “With films, I hope to win you all over with animation and then do other films,” Perry told Metro. “I am really interested in comedy, and I would really love to play Rachael in ‘Blade Runner 2,’ if Ridley would just call!”
