It's interesting that the sequel will be released on 2018, just a year before the time the 1st one too place in, which was 2019.

My interest level in this just went down big time with the casting of Jared Leto. Ugh.

I wonder what wacky behind-the-scenes antics ol' Leto will be up to this time, in order to 'get in character'!

Leto: what if robots have feelings and stuff?

Director: oh my god.

He's probably stuffing extension cords into sheep as we speak.

He was probably "tricked" into this one too. But don't worry, his performance will disappear... like tears in rain.

just saw the original film for the first time this summer, I enjoyed it.

Don't know how I feel about a sequel

It's got a title.

So its Blade Runner 2049, I'm down with the title.

Here's the Plot Synopsis.

That trailer was early Christmas for me. Blade Runner is in my top five favorite films. I'm elated.

Looks interesting to me, can't wait to see a full trailer.

This film certainly looks like it has potential. Hope they don't screw it up.

Did nothing for me, can't really form any opinion on that little. Hope it's as aesthetically pleasing as the original, at least.

Blade Runner is not for everyone, the movie has this sort of film noir vibe, I'm sure it'll be the same for the sequel.

a bunch of official stills have been released, and one reveals Ana de Armas playing a character name Joi, Perhaps she's a replicant?

Going to venture a guess here... the (rogue) replicants started making replicants, and they're super hard to detect and have some secret (but probably benign) agenda. That's why it's not so simple anymore.

(kind of like what Winona Ryder's character in Alien Resurrection... "You're Second Gen?!?!)

I also wonder what happened to Rachael, since Sean Young is not in the sequel.

Given that she was a Replicant, perhaps she didn't live long enough, cause they can only live for 4 years, But if I remember, She was a newer model that can live longer.

It depends on which version of the original you were watching. In one she would've expired like any other replicant. In the terrible version with the voiceover they revealed that she was "special" and wouldn't expire like the others.

The director confirmed that the movie will be rated R.

Just finished rewatching the original in the final cut, wasn't it implied Harrison Ford is a replicant himself? I also recall Ridley Scott confirming that in interviews. Or did they do away with that and making him human in this sequel?

Also I never realized there was a rape scene in Blade Runner. The way he stops her from leaving, pushes her against the wall and forces her to kiss him was pretty shocking, I can't imagine something like that in movies today without some backlash.

a new trailer will be released on Monday, Here's a trailer tease for it.

Here's the real deal.



By the way, what's the deal with trailers over the past couple of months -- WITHIN the actual full trailer -- containing a trailer for the trailer in the first few seconds, kind of a quick highlight reel? Like, "Please spend a minute and watch this trailer! See, look! There's good stuff inside! Just hang on another minute!" It seems desperate and pathetic.

I was already on board because of Villeneuve but that just seals the deal. Leto will probably still bug me though.

They put the snippets before the trailer because you have to watch a video for a few seconds for it to count as a view. I guess they figure people will immediately click off of it if they don't see the money shots immediately. Makes no sense to me.

Two things I didn't like about it: one, nobody that knows anything about shooting a gun turns it sideways. You can't aim properly from the side. Loses big points there. Two, no Vangelis score? Booo...

I've never watched Blade Runner, I don't know why I like sci-fi and cyber punk and it's a well known classic. Does it matter which cut I watch as a first time viewer? I wouldn't recommend the Extended edition LOTRs if it's your first time for example, I know Blade Runner has like a handful of different cuts...

Probably watch Blade Runner: The Final Cut.

Good trailer, I like the visuals so far.

Has anyone noticed the Atari logo? looks like Atari is still around in the future.

That's how you know it's an alternate reality.

Agreed, it's horrible. I think those are specially tailored for YouTube - you know how they give you five seconds before allowing the 'Skip' button to work?

Looks kind'a bland. What's the deal with Ford's wardrobe? It looks like he showed up on set like that and refused to change.

Anyone getting kind of concerned about this now? So many reboots or sequels to older movies completely and utterly bombed lately.

I'm really holding onto hope this one turns out good. I don't think Harrison Ford would want anything to do with it if it was just a cheap remake/semi-reboot of the original.

I have faith in Villeneuve to deliver a good movie.

This movie will have trouble making money if that rumored production budget is true though. There's no demand for a Blade Runner sequel.

EW has posted a new featurette about the movie, and it shows a ton of new footage.

Well Atari is making a new console called the Ataribox, so looks like it'll be a hit!

Atari has been around since the 1st Blade Runner.

Check out the new trailer

Harrison Ford really does just wear that damn T-shirt the whole movie?

Blade Runner is getting a short anime from the director of Cowboy Bebop.
