Olmos Will Return To Blade Runner

Remember this guy?

Edward James Olmos has confirmed that he’ll reprise his role as Eduardo Gaff from Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner sequel.

In the original film, Gaff is a veteran Blade Runner that works with the LAPD. Talking about returning to the role for Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, Olmos says:

“I signed a seven page non-disclosure contract. I did, my manager did, my agent did, everybody did. I couldn’t talk about it. I couldn’t talk about it to anybody about it. Guess what? This is the first time that I’m telling the whole world, that yes, I am going to be Gaff in Blade Runner 2049.”

However, don’t expect a very big role;

“Well, it’s not about Gaff, but it’s about someone who is going to try to find out certain things about us back then. My role is like it was in the original – that time I only had four scenes, in this I only have one. But again, it’s a poignant little scene.”

The movie will be released this October and star Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.
