Oh fuck no keep bautista or any pro wrestler out of this movie if its going to be made ffs

 

[JackWhite]

Hopefully Bautista has some speaking lines in this film. Unlike Spectre, where his only possible line of dialogue could have very well been dubbed.

Dave Bautista Officially Joins BLADE RUNNER Sequel

Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista has joined the cast of Alcon’s Blade Runner sequel. The former wrestling and MMA star now joins Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and Robin Wright in the sci-fi project, being directed by Denis Villeneuve, the acclaimed filmmaker behind drug drama Sicario.

Other plot details are being kept under wraps, but it is known that the story takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original, and that Ford is reprising his role as replicant hunter Rick Deckard.

Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original) and Michael Green wrote the new screenplay based on an idea by Fancher and Ridley Scott. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in July.

Bautista was last seen as the heavy in the James Bond movie Spectre and is due to reprise his role as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, due out in 2017.

I'm the opposite and feel that Batista should have less speaking lines or none at all in the Blade Runner sequel. He typically does well in the silent but deadly role. I can imagine him playing a Terminator-esque Replicant in here.

Big Dave!

Also, were people really itching for a Blade Runner sequel?

I think it ended pretty much on the right note.

BLADE RUNNER Sequel Release Moved Up to October 6, 2017

A couple months ago, it was reported that Blade Runner 2 was getting the unflattering release date of January 12, 2018. The MLK weekend is an odd place for a sci-fi sequel that brings Harrison Ford back to play one of his iconic roles opposite Ryan Gosling.

January is a wasteland, and it seemed like Blade Runner 2 would be buried there before it even got a chance to get going. But now Alcon Entertainment has announced that Blade Runner 2 will have a far more friendly release date. The movie will now open on October 6, 2017.

Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) recently was cast in the film. Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) is directing. Cinematographer Roger Deakins will reunite with Villeneuve on the project. Principal photography is scheduled to begin July 2016.

Ridley Scott Reveals the Opening Scene for BLADE RUNNER 2

Around two or three years Ridley Scott ago revealed the opening shot of Blade Runner 2, which is based on the original opening that was scrapped from the 1982 sci-fi film. Scott recently participated in a discussion on filmmaking at the AFI Festival. Mtime attended the event, where the director elaborated on what to expect from the opening of Blade Runner 2:

"We decided to start the film off with the original starting block of the original film. We always loved the idea of a dystopian universe, and we start off at what I describe as a "factory farm," what would be a flat land with farming. Wyoming. Flat, not rolling... you can see for 20 miles. No fences, just plowed, dry dirt. Turn around and you see a massive tree, just dead, but the tree is being supported and kept alive by wires that are holding the tree up. It's a bit like Grapes of Wrath, there's dust, and the tree is still standing."

"By that tree is a traditional, Grapes of Wrath-type white cottage with a porch. Behind it at a distance of two miles, in the twilight, is this massive combine harvester that's fertilizing this ground. You've got 16 Klieg lights on the front, and this combine is four times the size of this cottage. And now a spinner [a flying car] comes flying in, creating dust. Of course, traditionally chased by a dog that barks, the doors open, a guy gets out and there you've got Rick Deckard."

"He walks in the cottage, opens the door, sits down, smells stew, sits down and waits for the guy to pull up to the house to arrive. The guy's seen him, so the guy pulls the combine behind the cottage and it towers three stories above it, and the man climbs down from a ladder - a big man. He steps onto the balcony and he goes to Harrison's side. The cottage actually [creaks]; this guy's got to be 350 pounds. I'm not going to say anything else - you'll have to go see the movie."

In the originally scripted opening scene, Deckard introduces himself, and then shoots "the man." The Blade Runner rips the jaw off the dead body, revealing it was a replicant he killed, not a human. Since this replicant in the sequel is going to be 350 pounds, and based on how Scott described the tension in the buildup, it'll probably lead to a fight sequence.

So the vehicles have not really improved much all those years.

 

[Prefect]

I thought Harrison Ford hated Ridley Scott's guts? I thought that also was why to Ford wanted nothing to do with George Lucas's prequels.

Maybe, Ford will give even less of a fuck during the narration of this one.


P.S. I liked the narration. I thought it was very pulp noir. Blade Runner at least the original story was really about a detective who had some qualms hunting down robots because they were more human than some psychopaths he knew and whether he was a robot. It didn't really focus on technology or the future or cyborgs much at all. The movie sort of dumbed the story down a lot to fit in more action. I would recommend Boom's graphic novel of "Do robots dream of electric sheep?" to anyone that wants a good sci-fi comic. It follows the short story word for word and was nominated for an Eisner, an oscar for comic books.
