Warner Bros. Developing a New Installment of THE FUGITIVE

Harrison Ford has already donned the fedora as Indiana Jones for a third sequel, he's stepping back onto the bridge of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and he's signed on to reprise his role as Rick Deckard in a sequel to Blade Runner. Could the actor also return for a sequel to yet another one of his most successful films?

Deadline reports that Warner Bros. has put a "new installment" of The Fugitive into development with writer Christina Hodson penning the screenplay, but there's no word on whether Ford will be back as Dr. Richard Kimble. There's also no word on whether Tommy Lee Jones will return, but the actor — who earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in the original film — has already reprised his role as Sam Gerard in the 1998 sequel U.S. Marshals, so at least there's precedent in place for him to come back.

The Fugitive was a massive success when it was released in 1993, scoring a Best Picture nomination alongside its huge box office earnings. It seems like Ford may have had a conversation or two with Sylvester Stallone on the set of the third Expendables movie since he seems to be emulating the old action hero and coming back to revisit many of his famous characters. I wouldn't be surprised for the studio to somehow work him into this one, but we'll see what direction they decide to take this story in as development continues.
