“Blade Runner 2049” might be the most highly anticipated file of this year. On paper, it should be terrific: it’s produced by original director Ridley Scott, helmer Denis Villeneuve is on a pretty good run culminating in last year’s Oscar-nominated “Arrival,” he’s brought DOP Roger Deakins with him, and star Harrison Ford is returning to one of his most famous roles, atop an intriguing cast that also includes Ryan Gosling.
Ahead of next week’s Facebook Q&A, the film’s Twitter has debuted a couple of new posters for the film, and they’re very striking indeed. One’s focused on Gosling’s new character, with the Twitter tagline reading “A new civilization begins now,” the other sees Ford’s Deckard with the tagline “You know his past. Discover his future,” and again backing up our theory that Ford agreed to the movie on the condition that he got to wear his own clothes to set.
They are certainly beautiful posters, and certainly get us amped up for any trailer that might drop next week. The eclectic cast also includes Hiam Abbass, Barkhad Abdi, Ana De Armas, Dave Bautista, David Dastmalchian, Mackenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, Carla Juri, Robin Wright and at least one other returning character from the first movie, and you’ll be able to check it out in theaters on October 6th.
