Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that the Blade Runner sequel will be called
Blade Runner 2049. The film will be released on 10/6/2017. Arrival’s Denis
Villeneuve is directing the film that stars Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Robin
Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi, David Dastmalchian, Lennie James, Dave
Bautista and Jared Leto. The plot of the film is still a mystery but the one
thing we know now is that the film will not answer the question of whether
Ford’s Rick Deckard is a replicant. Ridley Scott says he is but Ford says
Deckard is human. Villeneuve says he has no interest in solving the mysteries
left by Scott’s original movie. But when asked about the theory that the
replicants only have a four-year lifespan and that having Ford in the film makes
him human he answered, “not necessarily”. In the same interview he repeated his
dream of directing an adaptation of Dune that is no win the hands of Legendary. |
