Returning is Harrison Ford reprising the role of Rick Deckard with a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, played by Ryan Gosling. After he learns a secret about the end of humanity, he finds Deckard, whose location has been unknown since he disappeared at the end of the first Blade Runner.

In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Villeneuve said Blade Runner was one of the films that made him want to become a director in the first place.
“I remember the opening sequence perfectly,” Villeneuve, who said he’s seen the original thousands of times, told the magazine. “That note of music; seeing Los Angeles in 2019; that smog; that darkness. It’s really the movie that gave birth to my desire to become a director.”
Collider published a ton of great images – check them out below.
Blade Runner 2049 is set for release on October 6th.
