Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

 
One trailer for Blade runner, 2049 has been released today. Ryan Gossling and Harrison Ford (with the “Blaster”) can be seen in environments that look both very “Blade Runnerish” and a bit clean & scaled down. Enjoy 🙂

Ryan Gosling will be in the upcomming Blade Runner movie (rumored to be entitled Blade Runner: Androids Dream). In the clip below he confirms that he will be in the movie and that it will be the next movie he will do.

Latest Blade Runner 2 (Androids Dream?) Rumours

So, news concerning the “Blade Runner 2” movie floats around the net and here are some of the latest news.

  • Ryan Gosling will (still in negotiations for doing the movie) be the central character and Ridley Scott has said that there might be additional sequels (with Gosling).
  • Denis Villeneuve was not Ridley’s the first choice for doing the next Blade Runner movie, Ridley Scott whom has worked on a sequel for years got rejected when he offered the movie to his first choice on doing the movie.
  • The movie will once and for all settle and show that Deckard are an Replicant

 
 
On the whole Deckard being a Replicant, Ridley Scott says

Of course he’s a bloody Replicant! He’s going to have to admit it… I’m not going to tell you [how the question of replicant expiration is addressed]. You’ll have to see the story. It’ll all make sense.
 

 
On getting rejected by his choice of director of “Blade Runner 2”

“I asked somebody before, who I though would be right – I would rather not say who it is. He just said ‘I’m not going to do that, I’m never going to follow through on that
