Ryan Gosling’s presence boosts the buzz. (One commenter noted that the 36-year-old star has done “two different LAs now. — the utopian throwback of La La Land and the dystopian future of LA.”

We hear:

  • “Bet you Harrison Ford is on a mission to kill off all his iconic characters. Next up, Indiana Jones.”
  • “Holy S—! Once this movie is out, my life will be complete! What will I do after that?”
  • “Blade Runner didn’t need a sequel but if the movie’s good I will forgive it.”
  • “I think this will be one of the best films of 2017 but I really hope they don’t tell you whether Deckard’s a replicant.”

    • Entertainment Weekly admitted “Sure, we don’t totally know what is going on, but here’s the synopsis courtesy of Alcon Entertainment: 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, and will arrive in theaters on Oct. 6, 2017.”
