Blade Runner 2049 is the much-anticipated sequel to the 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner. The movie arrives in October, and two new posters have been revealed. They feature stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford–check them out below:
Blade Runner 2049 also stars Ana de Armas, Jared Leto, and Robin Wright. It’s directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival). Ford will reprise his role as Dekkard from Ridley Scott’s original movie, and in March it was revealed that Edward James Olmos will also return as enigmatic cop Gaff.
A first teaser was released in December–check it out here.
In a recent interview with Deadline, Villeneuve spoke about the challenges of making a sequel to such an iconic film. “It’s the first time that I had to take the universe of someone else and to make it my own,” he said. “It’s very challenging, the biggest artistic challenge I’ve had in my life probably. I hesitated a lot before doing it, but when I said yes I committed at one hundred percent .
“It’s very difficult to talk about it because I’m in the process of doing it, so it’s a bit like asking a hockey player to describe how he will score as he’s going through the other players. It’s a massive challenge.”
Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters on October 6, 2017.
