TRAILER: Blade Runner 2049
Everyone stop what you’re doing & watch the first ‘Blade Runner 2049' footage.
The First Blade Runner 2049 Footage
Even in an era of constant reboots and remakes, a new Blade Runner film has always seemed as elusive as a unicorn dream: The 1982 classic was plagued by on-set strife, even though the future-is-noir mystery is now considered a classic. However, the idea of getting Harrison Ford to once again play Rick Deckard seemed downright batty.
So it’s a pleasant surprise that, more than three decades after the original, we’ll soon be going back to that neon-lit Los Angeles of the future, courtesy of Blade Runner 2049, the first footage for which you can watch above. Starring Ford and Ryan Gosling, the film takes place 30 years after the original, as an LAPD officer named K (Gosling) attempts to track down Deckard, the original Blade Runner, who’s now gone MIA.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, who helmed this year’s hit Arrival, the new Blade Runner also stars Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto. Blade Runner 2049 opens next October.
