Katy Perry Says She Wants To Play 'Rachael' In BLADE RUNNER 2

The pop singer turned actress has revealed to The Metro that after The Smurfs 2 she plans to turn her attention to live action roles, and one in particular has taken her fancy: Sean Young's replicant from Ridley Scott's first Blade Runner, Rachael.

You've got to hand it to Katy Perry, she's got taste...in movies anyway! The singer turned actress who provides the voice for Smurfette in the Smurfs sequel has hopes to continue her movie career with live action roles, and she's definitely not short on ambition. "With films, I hope to win you all over with animation and then do other films," Perry tells The Metro.co.uk "I am really interested in comedy, and I would really love to play Rachael in Blade Runner 2, if Ridley would just call! I think I'd enjoy playing the opposite of what you expect." Rachael was the female lead in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and was played by Sean Young. The character was a replicant, but has no knowledge of this when the story begins and is enlightened by Harrison Ford's Deckard, whom she then becomes the love interest of. We don't even know if Rachael will be a part of the planed sequel, but there is definitely a resemblance between Young and Perry -- what do you guys think?

Let's be honest, she has a killer body and if the movie had nudity every fanboy from miles around would flock to it. That said, the Rachel role is a huge jump from Smurfette. Maybe she needs a little more work under her belt before jumping to that role. But hey she can always audition. You never know what happens.

I used to hate when musicians tried to be actors and actors tried to be musicians. But then I thought about how the actors from the 30s to 60s could sing, dance and act. And did all three very well. It would be nice to see a return of the true well rounded actor. Hugh Jackman is one of those by the way.

Judging from her left wing rants she is already a robot so she fits the bill there. Looking forward to having her on the right when it becomes fashionable. Other than that , yeah, really hot chic and I even like her music...why not?

How about you go to hell, Katy Perry? Maybe you can get a part in Fast & Furious 11.

Um, no Smurfette. Keep to lip synching and bouncing those boobies on tour. And Blade Runner 2, really? If it is gonna happen, get Nolan to do it so he can get out the Blade Runner Homages out of his system, we got clubbed to death with them in his Batman movies.

People are saying NO when they have no idea if she can act or not.
It's ridiculous.

If she can act, she looks like her so it might work, but, based on the pictures above, she has to have make up on!!

Why not just get Zooey Deschanel, they both look similar and have the same acting abilities.
