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.

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.

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.

first trailer: "tell either side there's no wall, you bought a war"second trailer: "if this gets out we've bought ourselves a war"screenwriter clearly very taken with this very bad line.

I miss trailer narrators. Just because "in a world" is a joke people can make at bad parties and Lake Bell made a movie doesn't mean LaFontaine didn't have an important job that needs doing

I miss really vague trailers that just teased the movie's content
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
There's some good imagery in this new trailer, no lie; there's also more of a whiff of the generic about it. (A minor detail but I especially like the way that conversations in the original film are shot -- lots of interesting choices in terms of framing, lighting, characters talking past each other. I get a hint of that in the Gosling/Batista exchange, not so much from the rest.)
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 17 July 2017 19:12 (six years ago) link
I'm just angry the scenes with intense lighting/architecture are being spoiled with Leto
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
Agreed Ned. This trailer has a lot more dialogue scenes and it's quite jarring how flat they look in comparison to the whiz bang visuals they've mostly focused on up to now

Q: Leto's character is blind, as seen in the trailers for this. Is there any special significance to that?Scott: This was my idea. You remember from the first picture, towards the end Batty destroys Tyrell's eyes before killing him. My theory was that this was a moment of, yes, special significance to a certain type of person. Wallace, in the new picture, is just that type of person. He has blinded himself, as Batty blinded Tyrell. He worships Batty, believes he possessed a measure of truth not known to humans. One where sight wasn't required. And in fact may block said truth. This is something I hope to see pursued further in sequels, this idea of this band of fanatics who believe replicants are utopian ideals of humanity.Q: So you believe there will be more Blade Runner films?Scott: I've mapped out three more beyond 2049. We simply need to line up directors. I hope to direct at least one, if not two.
