forgot to paste the source~~ Gomen -_-
LONDON (AP) -- Director Ridley Scott has confirmed what many sci-fi fans have long suspected -- Deckard, the hard-bitten hero played by Harrison Ford in 1982's "Blade Runner,'' is not quite human.
"He is a replicant,'' Scott was quoted as telling Britain's Channel 4 television, referring to the genetically engineered androids Ford's 21st-century Los Angeles cop is charged with tracking down.
Film fans have debated the character's nature since Scott released his director's cut of the movie in 1992.
A commercial flop when it was initially released -- with a studio-imposed voiceover and a tacked-on happy ending -- "Blade Runner'' became a cult classic.
The documentary airs on Saturday.
