Blade Runner 2049

The original Blade Runner has a permanent spot in my top 5 films of all-time, so the news that after several years, Ridley Scott would be executive-producing a return to that world (realized by Arrival and Sicario director Denis Villeneuve) made me beyond ecstatic, especially with the cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Robin Wright, and Ana de Armas. While the brief teaser recently released feels like a morsel compared to what the final product will bring, and the late casting addition of Jared Leto seems garish in the wake of Suicide Squad, it has my vested interest and I cannot wait to see how the story is picked up all these years later this October.
