"After nearly 34 years, the sequel to Blade Runner is one step closer to actually happening. Alcon Entertainment has announced that Blade Runner 2 is slated to begin filming in July. Original Blade Runner star Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard opposite Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2, with Sicario director Denis Villeneuve slated to helm the much anticipated sequel. Blade Runner director Ridley Scott and c0-screenwriter Hampton Fancher conceived the idea for the sequel, which was co-written by Fancher and Michael Green. Blade Runner was based on Philip K. Dick’s classic sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and it has become one of the most influential sci-fi films since its initial release in 1982. The film introduced audiences to Ford’s Rick Deckard as he was assigned to track down and destroy bio-engineered androids called Replicants who were nearly indistinguishable from humans. Along the way, Deckard developed feelings for Rachael (Sean Young), a Replicant who was made to believe that she was human...." The "is Rick or isn't Rick a Replicant?" may finally be answered. link

Trailer at the Slate link "The first trailer from the Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049, has been released, and while it leaves a lot of questions unanswered—among them, “Why are they making a sequel to Blade Runner”—it does reveal that 34 years is not enough time to learn the most important lesson of the original movie: No one likes the voiceover. After a nigh-infinite proliferation of director’s cuts and final cuts and no-really-we-mean-it-this-time cuts, all of which dumped the soft-boiled expository narration added at the studio’s insistence to the film’s initial release, the first glimpse of the sequel opens with shots of a trenchcoated figure walking down steam-choked city streets, and the familiar drone of Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard on the soundtrack: “Replicants are like any other machine. They’re either a benefit or a hazard. If they’re a benefit, it’s not my problem.” Before you have time to question that benefit/hazard duality, the teaser moves on to a compressed version of a single scene, where Ryan Gosling’s replicant hunter meets up with an aged Deckard in a decrepit building surrounded by red sand. (It is Mars? Or the “offworld colonies” advertised in the original movie?) Gosling’s Officer K—apparently a big Kafka fan—finds a piano in the wreckage, as required by law, plays a single note on the keyboard, and then Deckard steps from the shadows. “I did your job once,” he says. “I was good at that.” “Things were simpler then,” Gosling responds, and while “simpler” is not a word anyone would use to describe the original Blade Runner, the line would seem to indicate new director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) and co-screenwriter Michael Green are going to add at least a veneer of 21st century sophistication to the mix. (The original movie’s Hampton Fancher shares screenplay credit, and co-wrote the story with original director Ridley Scott.) Further details of the movie, which is scheduled to open in October of 2017, are being kept under wraps, but we do know that cast also includes Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, and Jared Leto, and that the oft-debated question of whether or not Deckard is a replicant will play a significant role..." link

Really looking forward to this one! I actually loved the first BladeRunner (pretty sure I saw it at a friend's house when it came out on HBO..my parents wouldn't have let me see it!), it was so crazy and different at the time. I remember being really freaked out by store mannequins for a while after I saw it! But then I was in like 7th grade at the time?!

dark sister if I somehow missed a Bladerunner Master Topic, despite searching, please feel free to merge this thread there. A new Lennie Jamies interview! LENNIE JAMES: 'BLADE RUNNER 2049' WAS MORE SECRETIVE THAN 'THE WALKING DEAD' "...James has a supporting role in Arrival director Denis Villeneuve's sequel to the 1982 sci-fi film Blade Runner. He will star alongside Ryan Gosling and original star Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Rick Deckard.... ...Even after signing on for the film, James says he was bound by strict security measures on set in Budapest. “This has never happened to me before... our [script] sides on the day, you had to sign them out, and they’d give you your sides with your words for that day, and then you had to sign them back in. And they wouldn’t let you get in your car to go home until you’d given your sides back. “It was frantic. When I finished on the gig, I thought I’d sit down with the script and take it all in. No. Nine hours after wrap that script vanished from my iPad.”... link

Bladerunner experience at SDCC- they had a cafe serving noodles too, lol. "This year at San Diego Comic-Con, you can step into the year 2049. The Blade Runner 2049 experience is positioned across the street from the convention center, making it just far enough from the major crowds but allowing it to still have a crowd all it's own. On Friday morning when I stopped by, the line was already around the block, and the person checking people in said that it gets worse in the afternoon, at which point they break out white umbrellas to give to those waiting in line to protect them from the unforgiving San Diego sun. After moving from the line to a holding pen, you are ushered inside to yetanother holding pen — but at least this holding pen has concept art!..." link
