First look at the follow up to the seminal sci-if classic

Risky sequel. I hope they know what they're doing.

Its highly unlikely for this to top the original but hopefully its not too bad...despite Gosling being in it which is terrible casting IMO

My only issue with Ford nowadays is that he really does come across as a cranky old man in everything he does.

Won't ever top the original, but I'm certainly keen to see it.

I guess Vangelis is still pissed seeing as we get this guy instead:

Quite intriguing, but best be cautious. Villeneuve has a tendency to make films that end up less than the sum of their parts.

Very talented musician/composer. Not fully up to scratch on his film scores, but some of his work outside of that is quite something - Fordlandia, IBM 1401 etc.

Indeed, his score for the recent 'Arrival' film was brilliant. Just the right sort of moody and ambiance.

Don't understand the hate for Gosling, fine actor who could be an Oscar winning actor this time next year with LaLa Land.

I'd like to see Deckard as a human; a washed-up, cynical, former Blade Runner. If they go with Deckard as an aging replicant, it's not really want I'd want to see in a sequel. The beauty of the original Blade Runner is the mystery to it all - was Deckard a replicant, did he have any happiness with Rachel? Obviously, when you make a sequel there is the possibility of ruining the ending of the original film! If you think about the end of Return of the Jedi - the Rebel Alliance beat the Empire but that was forgotten about in ep 8. The Empire - in the guise of The First Order - is back in control. You could argue the ending of Jedi was perfect and should have been left alone. Ep 8 could have started with peace in the SW universe and that would have respected the ending of ep 7.

I have concerns Blade Runner 2 may dismiss, contradict or reinvent stuff just to justify its existence.

I dont hate him I just dont think he fits with the Blade runner universe, he likes playing it cool too much, too smooth too charming maybe...he certainly doesnt have the gravitas that Ford had, he's just too lightweight, I didnt mind him in Drive though so maybe he'll be ok.

Sounded like Vangelis in the trailer .... if indeed it is Johansson, then he is obviously keeping close to the original soundtrack

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Just Get Me The Greek!

I think I'm more gutted about the score than anything else although why Ridley chooses to produce a Murder on the Orient Express remake rather than helming a sequel to his masterpiece, one of the finest films of all time, is perhaps a bigger question.

Wow. Great cinematography in the teaser trailer. What's with Harrison Ford going back to old parts(Indy 4, Force Awakens and now Blade Runner)? Okay - it's nice to see him in it.

As for the film, well, that could turn out like Prometheus - that's the worry.

Because those old parts are parts of old films, which the industry are reanimating with some considerable success.

(More ker-ching than artistic perhaps, but hey ho).

Indeed. Give him a chance. Regardless of how similar an actor's work has been previously, we've seen before that it's certainly not beyond them to do something different should the production require it. They are actors after all.

I don't really see the problem - this is a sequel not a remake, so I don't see the need to repeat everything that's gone before, ie using the same composer, director etc. No one wants to see and hear the same of what's gone before, surely?

As has been pointed out, it sounds like this soundtrack will be in the spirit of the original, and that's fine with me. Plus I think Villeneuve is an excellent director and I have enjoyed his work until now.

I find it odd that people think directors have to be forever tied to their earlier movies, and demand that they still direct sequels some 30 - 40 years later. Obviously Scott has had some input and probably a degree of creative control, but he also wants to move on and do different things, and why shouldn't he?

Witness 2049 never got off the ground, they just weren't certain if it would have been a hit or Amish.

Scott's done Prometheus and the upcoming sequel to that too IIRC. He got Vangelis to do 1492 and being as the BR score is held in as high a regard as the film it seems natural that he would be first choice again. Johansson has scored other Villeneuve movies so that alone seems to be the reason he's doing this.

If pastiche makes you happy then I daresay you're in for a treat.

He seems to devote his energies (in a bewildering array of capacities) to projects that arguably don't deserve it and yet passes on the chance to continue the Blade Runner legacy with a sequel to one of the most iconic movies ever made, by all accounts his personal favourite IIRC. If that doesn't seem more than a little perverse to you then I can only assume you don't particularly like Blade Runner otherwise you'd be gagging for Vangelis, Scott and Ford reunited as opposed to the B-team.

Same thing with the Air Force One remake. They feared it wouldn't take off in the current climate.

You are so ridiculously far off the mark.

I do consider Blade Runner a classic movie, but I prefer my remakes and sequels to do something different than what has gone before.

Simply reassembling the same elements as before to me shows a lack of originality.

I also don't believe directors should continue to be tied to movies, and feel somehow obligated to revisit them and make sequels. I agree that Scott's output has been variable, but he has at least moved forward and tried to make movies in all sorts of genre's. They may not all work but at least he's doing something different and continually moving forward.
