Our Score

When it was first announced that a sequel to Blade Runner was in the works, it seemed like a bad idea. Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford are on a bit of a roll revisiting their greatest hits, following Scott’s Alien Prequels and Ford’s return to Indiana Jones and Star Wars. However, Blade Runner was such a singular movie – and one so far removed from the modern blockbuster – that it seemed a wholly bizarre idea to now be making a sequel.

Scott then handed the directing reigns across to Denis Villeneuve, which gave some guarded optimism following Sicario and Arrival, but it still seemed ill judged. [Read more…]

Blade Runner Short Film Explores What’s Been Happening Between The Two Films

30th August 2017 By Tim Isaac

There’s 30 years between when the action of Blade Runner took place and that of the upcoming sequel, Blade Runner 2049. A lot can happen in three decades, and so three short films are coming which explore what’s been happening in that time.

The first of those has arrived in the form of 2036: Nexus Dawn, which takes us into a world where replicants have been banned, but then Jared Leto’s reclusive genius Niander Wallace turns up with plans to change that. Benedict Wong also stars.

It gives us a feel for where Blade Runner 2049 will be going. Here’s the synopsis: ‘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 LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.’

Take a look at Nexus Dawn below. Blade Runner 2049 will be in cinemas in October. [Read more…]

New Blade Runner 2049 Trailer – There’s a replicant mystery for Harrison Ford & Ryan Gosling

17th July 2017 By Tim Isaac

Returning to the world of Blade Runner makes for an interesting trailer challenge for the studio’s marketing department. For many the film is one of the true classics of sci-fi, with a unique style and a tone that’s far more contemplative than most. However, there are also a lot of people out there who’ve never seen it and have grown up on a diet of bloated sci-fi excess. So how do you appeal to both crowds?

The new trailer does a good job of showing the effort that’s gone into recreating the grimy, holo-ad covered future, as well as that it will further explore how the likes of replicants work (with the help of a blind Jared Leto). It also shows that the scale has grown for those who demand non-stop action.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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 LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

‘The film also stars Ana de Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto, Barkhad Abdi, Lennie James, Mackenzie Davis, and Sylvia Hoeks.’

The film is due out in early October. [Read more…]

Harrison Ford & Ryan Gosling Get Blade Runner 2049 Character Posters

4th May 2017 By Tim Isaac

The jury is still out on whether returning to the world of Blade Runner 35 years after the original is a good idea, but it’s certainly a very intriguing idea. The trailer released back in December also did a great job of suggesting this may be a worthwhile trip to the future, and hopefully there’ll be another trailer soon giving us an even better look (rumours suggest we may be getting one next Monday when Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and director Denis Villeneuve take part in a live Facebook Q&A on Monday 8th May at 5pm BST).

In the meantime, a couple of rather nifty posters have been released, featuring the return of Harrison Ford as Deckard, and Ryan Gosling as LAPD Officer K. Take a look at them below.
