Universal and WB are taking massive incomprehensible shits on the properties they own
Marvel is the studio that's not fucking it up

I only say that because the complaints about sequels and remakes have been going on for a long time. Makes me wonder if old people in the 50s were like "They're making Ben Hur AGAIN? Pfft."
Not that Lego Transformer Wars 3: Rise of the Silver Guardians -- Origins Pt 1 is a good thing, just saying this shit is cyclical.

Star Wars started it but Star Wars is also kind of an exception to a lot of things
― Fiddle Catstro (latebloomer), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:22 (six years ago) link
It's Marvel that nailed the formula that everyone is desperately trying to copy
― Fiddle Catstro (latebloomer), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:23 (six years ago) link
Star Wars is now copying the Marvel model, not the other way around.
Anyway, back to Blade Runner I guess

I wish they would have just cast Emily Blunt as the new Blade Runner and let Gosling be one of the (regular) replicants tbf - but this is Hollywood

and that would have been too obvious after Sicario, I guess
but hey maybe that's the REAL twist? oh shit I've just ruined the movie
― your cognitive privilege (El Tomboto), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:31 (six years ago) link
They've greenlit an Edge of Tomorrow sequel with Blunt, so I don't need her in this. (EoT was so criminally slept-on; almost certainly because of that suck-ass title.)

New one looks like ass. Sorry. I've yet to be convinced by anything Villeneuve's directed.

We were promised offworld colonies by 2019.
Everything I liked about this, I liked in 1983 (or whenever I first saw the VHS).
I'd like to believe that the characters reprising Roy, Pris, Rachael et al in aren't so transparent. I'm trusting in you, Villeneuve.
Else, we're doomed to a rainy, replicant-ridden LA for the next installment in 2051.

So per the headline
http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/13/blade-runner-2049-ryan-gosling-harrison-ford-photos/
Ryan Gosling still wonders if Blade Runner 2049 might just be an elaborate episode of Punk’d
Based on some of the photos later in the feature, *I'm* wondering that.

i like the one where ryan and harrison are running away from an elaborate pile of dangerous mousetraps

Everything — the sets, the lights, the props, the vehicles — they are all saying something about our future
Which is why they decided at least one speaking part had to be played by somebody cosplaying as Abby from NCIS.

i don't know...i think to compare it to the original will always have this coming out well behind, but maybe it'll be a 2010-type thing, interesting or compelling on its own merits. i still trust Villeneuve.
― nomar, Monday, 17 July 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
Maybe it will be as good as another classic release from 1982, Miner 2049er.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 17 July 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
I can see the 2010 comparison, but that's a movie that really held back on trying to explain it's predecessor. BR2049 seems more like it's going to try to fill in every. single. detail. of the backstory, whether the audience wants to hear it or not.
― Zings Can Only Get Better (snoball), Monday, 17 July 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
It does look worryingly action heavy and light on thoughtful introspection. I really hope it's just a misleading trailer to get the punters in.
Isn't the scene with Dave Bautista based on one that was dropped from the first movie? From what I recall from "Dangerous Days" it was originally supposed to be Deckard's introduction but was cut before filming started.
― Pheeel, Monday, 17 July 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
if it's on par w/2010 or The Two Jakes or some other traditionally kinda derided sequel to a legendarily classic film that's actually interesting despite their flaws (and trying to live up to the predecessors), i'll be happy enough.
― nomar, Monday, 17 July 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
I suppose my own concern is what Ridley Scott is currently doing to the Alien backstory.

It's strongly implied by what Deckard finds in the final scene.

New trailer is not promising. I think Jared Leto is gonna sink this movie for me. He's just not a credible actor in any role and looks particularly egregious here - and apparently has very big part.
