Blade Runner 2049 – Everything We Know

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

Blade Runner 2049 doesn’t come out until October, but we’ve been getting a few tidbits on it. They are giving us just enough to whet our appetites without actually telling us anything.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
L-R: Ana de Armas and Ryan Gosling

We know that director Denis Villeneuve minimized the CGI and was trying to keep the same feeling as the original, which we are grateful for.

We also know that Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after the original and Deckard (Harrison Ford) has been missing that whole time. LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling) has uncovered a secret that endangers society and Deckard may have the answers K needs.

We know that Jared Leto is involved and will be playing a character named Neander Wallace, thanks to a small comment Mr. Leto made in an interview with the London Evening Standard,

“‘I play a character called Neander Wallace — to be honest they had me at the name,’ he says. In the trailer, he appears as a black-eyed medium, murmuring a monologue to Harrison Ford. ‘I read the script and fell in love with the character. But I don’t think I’m allowed to talk about it — I may have already got in trouble for telling you the name…”

What we do know is that his character seems a little creepy and from the trailer he seems like he may be the main antagonist.  All we really know about the character is that he creates replicants. We can only hope that he doesn’t get edited like he did for Suicide Squad.

We also know that Edward James Olmos will be returning to the role of Gaff, a veteran Blade Runner. However, it will only be for one scene. Ana de Armas appears as a character named Joi, who is K’s love interest…and possibly a replicant.

Other actors in the film include Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Mackenzie Davis, David Dastmalchian, and Barkhad Abdi, unfortunately we don’t even know their characters names at this point.

Anything else at this point is speculation and rumor.

There are also rumors circulating that there was an ultra-secret pre-screening of the film, which included iron-clad disclaimers. I’m still pushing my sources for more information on that, as all I have so far is “We won’t deny it.”

Cosplay

Harrison Ford’s ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Costume Cost $26

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

UPDATE 6/9/17 **Once in a while something slips through our radar and this is one such article. The Studio Exec is a parody web site and they caught us, but it’s still a good article. Thank you to Jay Wilson for bringing it to our attention**

Often times the costumes actors wear in television or movies cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, as they are made up of designer pieces or items created exclusively for them by the production’s costume designer. But that’s not the case with Harrison Ford’s character Rick Deckard in the upcoming film Blade Runner 2029.

In an interview with The Studio Exec, the actor talked about his costume which cost a total of $26 dollars before tax.

Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters October 6

“The costume people come round to my house. They’ve spent weeks going over and over with these designs and sketches… Well, then they say ‘How about you Mr. Ford?’ and I say ‘I’m wearing my costume right now’. They looked confused. I was just wearing a t-shirt. They started trotting out these space trousers, but I told them to f*** off. This shirt cost me $26. For a pack of three.”

This is certainly good news for cosplayers, as we will often spend tons of money trying to track down those perfectly screen-accurate items. That there is at least one actor who wanted to keep his costume as simple as possible is a great boon.

The movie, which also stars Ryan Gosling, has the following synopsis, “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.”

Blade Runner 2049 will be released October 6, 2017.

The movie has a great number of stars signed on to join lead actor Harrison Ford as he reprises his role as Rick Deckard. Joing Ford will be Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Mackenzie Davis, Lennie James, and Ana de Armas.

Things are rather hush on the set as filming continues but there have been a few teasers. First, the film’s official Twitter account shared a moment with a few recognizable faces…

The sequel is set several decades after the 1982 original, and stars Ryan Gosling together with Harrison Ford, reprising his iconic role as Rick Deckard.

Filming For “Blade Runner 2” Begins This July

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

The classic, sci-fi movie thriller of 1982, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, has finally announced a start for filming the sequel.  Principal photography on Denis Villenueve’s (Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario) unnamed Blade Runner sequel is scheduled to begin in July 2016.  Alcon Entertainment is set to back the film, who acquired the franchise rights in 2011 to produce prequels and sequels to the movie.  Ridley Scott will return and serve as executive producer.

As often with the case of famous, memorable, and successful hit films of the past, there are likely some who question the need to attempt to recreate, or improve, on the original’s special spark.  But with the rising Villenueve, and the starring of actors Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, there seems to be great appeal for this production to be a success.

The film follows Rick Deckard (Ford) decades after the end of the first film.  The film will be shooting in Budapest, Hungary where the studio is located, and will also film scenes in Beijing, China.  It is definitely too early for an announced release date, but we now know this sequel is coming to fruition.

Tom Rotham, the Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, recently had this to say, “At Sony, we have made a strong commitment to the international marketplace.  We know of few projects with greater international potential than the long dreamed of sequel to Blade Runner, especially given the all-star creative team Andrew and Broderick have assembled.  We are deeply grateful to everyone at Alcon, Denis and Ridley for entrusting us with such a gift.  Working on a Blade Runner film also fulfills a long-time personal ambition, as I deeply love and admire the original.”

Alcon’s co-founders Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove added, “We are excited to work with Tom Rothman, Michael Lynton and then entire Sony team on this very special project as well as maintaining our important and long-standing relationship with our domestic partner Warner Bros. Pictures.”

Released in 1982, Blade Runner was directed by Ridley Scott shortly after his successful film Alien. The movie garnered two Academy Awards nominations (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction) and is often regarded as a classic and cult favorite.  Numerous media sources rank it among their top films of all time.  Here is the original film’s synopsis…

Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.
