The pre-production process has been going on some time for the Blade Runner sequel and now things are starting to come together as it’s been revealed that filming will begin this July for it. There isn’t a slotted date for it yet on the calendar, but Warner Bros. has confirmed that they will be handling the domestic distribution while Sony will handle the international side. With filming starting in a few months we’ll likely hear more casting coming soon as right now we just have Harrison Ford back as Deckard and Ryan Gosling as the lead with a new character.
The script comes from Hampton Fancher, who co-wrote the original, along with Michael Green with Ridley Scott producing while Denis Villenueve is directing and the legendary Roger Deakins as the cinematographer.
Original Film Concept: In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants – and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.
