Ryan Gosling has shared a few more details about the hugely exciting Blade Runner sequel, calling it an "extension" of the first film.

The actor clarified that the new movie will not be a remake of the 1982 sci-fi.

Speaking to Hello magazine, Gosling said: "I can say that we start shooting in July, Harrison will be in and it's not a remake of the story, more an extension."

He added: "I'm really excited because I'm a huge fan of the original - I think that, aside from Alien, it's one of the more important science fiction films ever."

It was previously announced that Harrison Ford was returning as Rick Deckard and Ryan Gosling in another leading role - that much we know.

The original film sees Deckard hired to track down four missing replicants, robots who look entirely human.

The films has a talented new director in Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) and one of the world's best cinematographers, Roger Deakins, to find something as iconic as the first film's look.

Original director Ridley Scott will be executive producer, and original writer Hampton Fancher is back as well, working with Michael Green to adapt a story idea from Fancher and Scott.

Of course, you should be wary of replicants even before the release date on January 12, 2018. According to the original film's dates, they already walk among us.
