Blade Runner 2049

Re: Blade Runner Sequel

Hopefully Robin Wright is not going to pull a Jodie Foster (a la Elysium). Probably the new Boss at Tyrell...as for Batista, I'll put my chips on a Rep role;)
 
Re: Blade Runner Sequel

Batista would most definitely be a replicant. I loved him in GotG but he's not going to have the pathos or weight of Rutger Hauer. (Presuming that's what they're going for.)
Batista has the physicality but that's about it. If they think they can make him a new Roy Batty that tells me a lot about the producers' judgement.
 
Re: Blade Runner Sequel

could he not be another Blade Runner? Assuming this movie will pick up in real time (and Deckard IS NOT a replicant) then maybe there has been widespread replicant infiltration, leading to an increased number of Blade Runners and private contrators. Not to say that's where I think it should go, but this is 2016 Hollywood we're talking about.
 
Re: Blade Runner Sequel

I think he's more likely to be a Leon-type replicant.
I could buy that.

Expanding the scale of the story would be against the spirit of the original film and to film noir in general. If they chose to do that it would prove to me they really don't get it.

Well right, that's kind of what I'm expecting though sadly. Hopefully this doesn't end up like Total Recall
 
Re: Blade Runner Sequel

It's not on imdb that Vangelis is returning but it doesn't give another name either, so we can hope.
The Esper edition of the original BR soundtrack is just outstanding, and he has worked as recently as 2014. More hope :)

This is the new gen being hired; wait 'til you see who else will make the cut;)

I am not even joking when I say I am already putting money aside for future Blade Runner 2 merchandise. New trench coat and blaster fund already in progress.
 
Re: Blade Runner Sequel

Anyone who is still skeptical about this and especially if you have no faith in this sequel despite Denis Villeneuve's involvement, be sure to watch Story of Your Life (now titled Arrival) later this year.
