*Text from Geek Tyrant (This looks phenomenal)
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 blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
The film also stars Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, with Dave Bautista, Edward James Olmos and Jared Leto. All of which look fantastic in the role they play.
The movie was directed by Denis Villeneuve and it’s set to be released on October 6, 2017.
If the miraculous renaissance of SW is followed by a Twin Peaks resurgence that’s as brilliant as the original 30 episodes (and there are a lot of reasons to be hopeful), and then BR 2049 comes along and is as good as this trailer makes it look, that makes up for every last Ghostbusters and Prometheus. Hollywood is milking everything to death, yet there is a strong possibility that the revivals I care about the most are going to be awesome. I feel like I am on the verge of winning a cosmic lottery.
I’m being really selfish, I know, but I can’t help it. If you, as a non-BR fan, think this trailer looks incredible, you can only imagine how I am feeling after watching it 20 times.

I think what Harrison Ford is doing in revisiting his legacy characters and giving them care before he leaves shows a depth of devotion to his craft that his demeanor for a lot of decades belied. I HATE Blade Runner and I’ve never tried so hard to like a film in my life. I will see this day one. Partly because Denis Villenueve can do no wrong (and I cannot wait for his Dune), but this trailer is fantastic. I may even freaking understand what’s happening. Just please God, no Vangelis score.

I don’t like the Vangelis score. No movie is perfect. As a rule I’m not a fan of any synth scores from that period. I like movies with traditional scores, because nothing dates a film faster than a musical score that tries to be modern or futuristic. I hope Indy 5 comes to fruition, because my God, Indy 4. If only he would close out Jack Ryan, too. I’d be happy.
