Blade Runner 2049 (Blu-ray Review) – An artificial Ryan Gosling needs to track down Harrison Ford

February 6, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Running Time: 164 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 5th 2018 (UK)

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…]

New Blade Runner 2049 Trailer – There’s a replicant mystery for Harrison Ford & Ryan Gosling

July 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

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 classics 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 both crowds?

The new trailer does a good job of showing the effort that’s gone into recreating the grimy, holo-ad covered future, as well as that it will further explore how the likes of replicants work (with the help of a blind Jared Leto). It also shows that the scale has grown for those who demand non-stop action.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

‘The film also stars Ana de Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto, Barkhad Abdi, Lennie James, Mackenzie Davis, and Sylvia Hoeks.’

The film is due out in early October. [Read more…]

Blade Runner 2049 Trailer – The future is full of mystery for Harrison Ford & Ryan Gosling

May 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Returning to the world of Blade Runner makes for an interesting trailer challenge for the studio’s marketing department.

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.

Well, this trailer gives it a go, doing a good job of showing the effort that’s gone into recreating the grimy, holo-ad covered future, as well as that it will further explore how the likes of replicants work (with the help of a blind Jared Leto). It also shows that the scale has grown for those who demand non-stop action.

Harrison Ford & Ryan Gosling Get Blade Runner 2049 Character Posters

May 4, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

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).

In the meantime, a couple of rather nifty posters have been released, featuring the return of Harrison Ford as Deckard, and Ryan Gosling as LAPD Officer K. Take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos.

Blade Runner 2049 Announcement Trailer – Deckard & the Replicants are back (with Ryan Gosling in tow)

December 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

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.

And to be honest, I’m not sure this announcement trailer will silence the naysayers. While there are hints towards the original, from neon lighting to Vangelis-style synth strings, its also trying to show it’s something a little bit different – although quite what that difference will be still isn’t clear.

It’s certainly intriguing though, with Ryan Gosling stepping into the central role in a world of humans and replicants. But as you’ve probably guessed, an old face also reappears – Harrison Ford, revisiting his past classic as he did in The Force Awakens and the last Indiana Jones movies.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.’

Jared Leto Set To Join Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford In Blade Runner Sequel

August 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jared-LetoThe 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 THR.

There’s still not much info about the exact plot of the movie, but we do know it’s set several decades after the original, and that Harrison Ford will once more be reprising his role as Rick Deckard. It’s been rumoured that Gosling will also be playing a detective, while Robin Wright will be an android. We’d also be willing to bet Leto is going android too.

Denis Villeneuve, director of Prisoners and the upcoming Arrival, will helm the movie, with Alcon Entertainment producing. It’s currently set for release October 2017.

Robin Wright In Talks For Key Role In Blade Runner Sequel

March 31, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robin-wrightFor 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.

Ryan Gosling has also been attached to star for quite a while, but it now seems they’re ready to move the project forwards, with THR reporting that Robin Wright is in final talks for a key role in the movie. There’s no info on the plot, although there are apparently three key female roles, with Wright nabbing on of them. Ford will also be back as Rick Deckard.

Wright’s involvement was dependent on her schedule, as she’s shooting Wonder Woman now, and also has the next season of House Of Cards to squeeze in. However, it looks like they’ve sorted things out and she will be ready to shoot the Blade Runner sequel when it starts filming in July.

Indiana Jones 5 Announced For 2019 With Harrison Ford & Steven Spielberg Returning

March 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Indiana-JonesEver 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.

Now the House Of Mouse has announced that’s exactly what they’re doing, as it’s been revealed that Indiana Jones 5 will be released on July 19th, 2019. There’s no mention of George Lucas though, who was intimately involved in the earlier films and came up with all the stories. As with Star Wars, it’s likely he gave up creative control when he sold Lucasfilm, and if he’s involved at all it will be in a reduced capacity.

There’s also no mention of Shia Labeouf, and it seems unlikely he’ll be back as Mutt (to may people’s relief). Nor is there any info about the plot.

Here’s the full statement from Disney:

SPIELBERG AND FORD REUNITE AS INDIANA JONES RETURNS TO THEATERS JULY 19, 2019

Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark – one of AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time – and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office.

Final Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer – The old and the new unite

October 20, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-wars-force-awakens-poster1-slideThe 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 certainly looks cool, mixing the old and the new, and it appears director JJ Abrams hasn’t given up on his beloved lens flare just because he’s in a galaxy far, far away.

‘The film stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Max Von Sydow.
