When it was first announced that a sequel to Blade Runner was in the works, it seemed like a bad idea. Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford are on a bit of a roll revisiting their greatest hits, following Scott’s Alien Prequels and Ford’s return to Indiana Jones and Star Wars. However, Blade Runner was such a singular movie – and one so far removed from the modern blockbuster – that it seemed a wholly bizarre idea to now be making a sequel.
Scott then handed the directing reigns across to Denis Villeneuve, which gave some guarded optimism following Sicario and Arrival, but it still seemed ill judged. [Read more…]
Returning to the world of Blade Runner makes for an interesting trailer challenge for the studio’s marketing department. For many the film is one of the true classic of sci-fi, with a unique style and a tone that’s far more contemplative than most. However, there are also a lot of people out there who’ve never seen it and have grown up on a diet of bloated sci-fi excess. So how do you appeal to bother crowds.
The jury is still out on whether returning to the world of Blade Runner 35 years after the original is a good idea, but it’s certainly a very intriguing idea. The trailer released back in December also did a great job of suggesting this may be a worthwhile trip to the future, and hopefully there’ll be another trailer soon giving us an even better look (rumours suggest we may be getting one next Monday when Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and director Denis Villeneuve take part in a live Facebook Q&A on Monday 8th May at 5pm BST).
It’s easy to forget now that on its release, Blade Runner was considered a bit of a flop. Since then it’s become one of the defining sci-fi movies of the last 40 years. Even so, when it was revealed a follow-up was in the works, many were uncertain.
The follow-up to Blade Runner just got a little more interesting. Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Robin Wright and Ana de Armas are already onboard to star, and they’ve now been joined by Jared Leto, according the 
For a few years now a sequel to Blade Runner has been in the works, which had the backing of both Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott. While Scott was attached to direct at one point, he’ll now only produce, with Denis Villeneuve helming.
Ever since Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull there have been rumblings about another film outing for Indy (with many hoping another movie would be made just so the franchise didn’t go out with its underwhelming last installment). There have even been suggestions that Harrison Ford only agreed to make The Force Awakens if Disney promised to make Indy 5.
The excitement around Star Wars: The Force Awakens is already causing cinema websites to break under the weight of people trying to book tickets, and just in case there was anyone who wasn’t already planning to go, a final trailer has arrived.
It wasn’t expected until tomorrow, but the official main poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has arrived, which is bound to have fans poring over it, trying to unpick what it says about the characters old and new, from Han Solo and Princess Leia to John Boyega’s Finn and Daisy Ridley’s Rey.
