Ford, 72, will reprise his role of Rick Deckard for the sequel, said the Hollywood Reporter.
"I sent him this (script), and he said it's the best thing he's ever read. It's very relevant to what happened in the first one," Scott said.
The 'Exodus' director added that he is currently unsure whether he would helm Blade Runner's sequel.
Scott also discussed his plans for a 'Prometheus' sequel, saying that the 2012 film's follow-up would center on the relationship between Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and David (Michael Fassbender).
