Synopsis

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, the officer K from the LAPD (Ryan Gosling) discovers a dark secret that could bring the end of humanity as we know it. This discovery leads him to find the former blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who has been missing for thirty years. The film is directed by Denis Villeneuve ('Arrival', 'Sicario'), and the cast is completed by Ana de Armas as Joi, Jared Leto as Niander Wallace, Mackenzie David, Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks and Dave Bautista.

Villeneuve is set to bring to the big screen the continuation of the cult film from the eighties, 'Blade Runner' based on the novel, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' by Philip K. Dick. The script is written by Hamton Fancher and Michael Green.

  • 10 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw Blade Runner 2049 is a narcotic spectacle of eerie and pitiless vastness, by turns satirical, tragic and romantic. Read

  • 6.0 VultureDavid Edelstein There?s nothing close to the shock of seeing Blade Runner?s Tokyo-influenced futuristic dystopia ? a dismal mix of high-tech and corrosion ? for the first time. Read
