Alcon Entertainment just announced that Denis Villeneuve's sequel to Ridley
Scott's seminal sci-fi movie Blade Runner will open in theaters on January 12,
2018, with Harrison Ford reprising his Rick Deckard role, and Ryan Gosling.
Hampton Fancher
(co-writer of the original) and Michael Green wrote the original
screenplay based on an idea by Fancher and Ridley Scott. The story takes place
several decades after the conclusion of the original.
Blade Runner 2 marks
Villenueve's third collaboration with 13-time Academy Award nominee Roger
Deakins, after Prisoners and Sicario, both of which gave Deakins Oscar
nominations.
Released in 1982, Blade Runner was adapted by Fancher and David Peoples from Philip
K. Dick's novel Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The film was nominated for two
Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction) and is now
regarded by media and cineastes as one of the greatest movies of all time and
the defining vision of the cyberpunk genre.
Principal photography on Villenueve's Blade Runner film is scheduled to begin in July.
