Blade Runner 2 News: Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling all set for filming in summer 2016; Director to work with Roger Deakins



::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Blade Runner 2 is in the works and will be set decades after the events in the first film. The sequel's list of cast and crew is also gradually being filled in, with latest addition, being Oscar-nominated cinematographer, Roger Deakins.

Blade Runner has been one of the successful and iconic movies in the 1980s and the news about a sequel after so many years have garnered mixed reactions from fans. But most recent reports about the film suggest that it is in good hands.

According to People, Harrison is set to reprise his role as the replicant hunter, Rick Deckard. Aside from him, Ryan Gosling is also set to star in the movie as a currently undisclosed character. Production for Blade Runner 2 is said to begin in summer 2016 which gives Ford ample time to recover from his injuries which he got from a plane crash last March.

A director has also been chosen for the sequel, as Denis Villeneuve is officially on board to helm the film, according to previous report. Villeneuve is also set to work with renowned cinematographer Roger Deakins.

The upcoming movie is said to be Deakins and Villeneuve's the third collaboration, after working together in films "Prisoner" (2013), and "Sicario" (2015). Other works by Deakins also includes "Skyfall", "The Shawshank Redemption", and "No Country for Old Men".

Meanwhile, as reported by MNR Daily, speaking about the violence portrayed in the original movie, Villeneuve reportedly said that it was depicted in a way that was not just about gore and blood. According to Villeneuve, the violence was portrayed in a mature manner, "the violence was approached in a very human way. The violence was very maturely realized." He said.

Although details about the plot are currently scarce, Blade Runner 2 has been reported to be set several decades after the events in the first movie. The original movie was set in the year 2019.

No release date has been given for Blade Runner 2 yet but more details about the sequel are expected to be revealed in the coming months.

I'll give it a shot. Hollywood did Mad Max right (granted they let George Miller do it), hopefully they do this one right also.

I don't know how they're gonna pull off 75 year old Rick Deckard though lol
I know man it's going to weird with an old ass Deckard.

They better not make this some generic stripped down Hollywood film like Prometheus or some shit. In order for this to succeed it's going to need to have the same type of deep layers the first film masterfully explored.

As a big fan of sci-fi movies, I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen the first one. I don't know how. I've planned it out in my head to watch it 100x but I just never got around to it. I'm gonna give it a go next weekend.

That is embarrassing! Nah, that happens to me, somehow I went through my life without knowing anything about the Fallout games, no idea how the fuck that happened playing 3 right now.

This film is a masterpiece tbh, easily one of, if not the best science fiction film ever made. This is my favorite Ridley Scott movie which he made right after Alien in '79 so he was in his absolute prime, based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? A true Cult classic.

I think there may be a couple versions out there so just double check that you get the The Final Cut. Everyone who likes sci-fi needs to watch this movie.



It's also one of those rare old movies that you watch and think to yourself, "how were they able to do this back in 1981?!" similar to watching 2001 Space Odyssey where you're blown away at how good it looks visually despite being so old (some of the same special effects people on both films).

Fuck, this movie was insanely good.

I was hoping to see more Rutger Hauer but the quality of his performance was more impactful in the small screen time he had.

I actually didn't catch onto what the origami meant at the end, though I wish I had, it probably would have increased the 'wow' factor. I looked it up and it did all make sense. All the more reason to watch it again.

10/10

I definitely think a sequel would be pointless, visuals aside. The story is over. But I think a prequel could work. Develop the story of the slaves in the off-world's; how they were developed, how they lived, their battle, escape, etc. Other than that the story is done.

Which version did you watch? The original or the directors cut? The directors cut goes more in depth regarding the origami and is basically an entirely different movie because the ending changes everything. In the directors cut, Deckerd dreams of it, so it's basically saying his memories are implants no different then the people he's hunting so the cop leaving it there at the end is a way the film tells us they know he's a replicant, which also explains why the head cop looks down on Deckard so much. It's a darker ending, there is no mention of the expire date so it's implied Deckard and Rachel might have a few days, a few weeks to live at most, versus the original ending where it says Rachel doesn't have an expire date. It's worth watching the directors cut if you haven't already.

Rated R.

Director - Denis Villeneuve

Cinematographer - Roger Deakins ( The Shawshank Redemption (1994), No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, 1984, etc.).

Music by award winner Jóhann Jóhannsson

“My producers are finding it fun to remind me that it will be one of the most expensive R-rated independent feature films ever made,” Villeneuve disclosed.

The decision to shoot for an R-rating is likely to have been influenced by the success of Ryan Reynolds’ superhero caper Deadpool in early 2016, which carried an R certificate but made $783m worldwide at the box office, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film ever released.​

Ryan Gosling
Harrison Ford
Jared Leto
Ana de Armas

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. Written by Warner Bros. Pictures​

I'm liking what I've seen so far. Lots of talented people and it seems like this isn't just a money grab.
