As much as I want to hate the fact that there is a sequel to Bladerunner, I can’t help but be excited by the authentic vibe that Dennis Villeneuve has brought to Bladerunner 2049, at least going by the visuals in the new trailer for the upcoming movie.
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.
As always, avoid the trailer if you want to go into the movie, out on October 6, with minimal spoilers or preconceptions. For everyone else who view the trailer and try and work out what’s going on, check out this Gizmodo article which breaks it down.
