I keep seeing here most people are pleased with the director. Can someone fill me in?

Looking forward to this btw. It almost feels as if theyve had a sequel all along but didnt release it until now. Again strong Nostalgia!
 
I have no idea what the story would be though.
Synopsis: 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 blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

His films are critically-acclaimed as well as received positively by the public. His films include Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario and Arrival. And as TGF said, he's very good at creating atmosphere and tension.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 Aiming for R Rating Confirms Denis Villeneuve

Denis Villeneuve, the director of Blade Runner 2049, has revealed that the film-makers are aiming for an R-rating for the forthcoming Blade Runner sequel.

Speaking to Screen Daily, Villeneuve also confirmed that the film wrapped shooting in late November and the editing process has now commenced in Los Angeles.

“My producers are finding it fun to remind me that it will be one of the most expensive R-rated independent feature films ever made,” Villeneuve disclosed.

During the interview, the director also spoke about his determination to make the film with as minimal CGI as possible, applying the same principal to the shoot that he had used for his most recent feature Arrival. “I can count on my fingers the amount of times we put a green screen on set. Most of the movie was done on camera, me and [cinematographer] Roger Deakins worked very hard to do it that way.

“My actors were not walking on green screens all day long. CGI is a strong tool for backgrounds and extensions but what is around the actors needs to be as real as possible. When I watch a movie that’s mostly CGI, I’m disengaged,” he continued.

While the editing process on Blade Runner 2049 has only recently begun, Villeneuve is already dreaming of working on further sci-fi features, an ambition he has harboured since he was a child. “I’m doomed, I love sci-fi. I have two more ideas now that I would love to do. [And] Blade Runner could go on… we’ll see how this one goes.”

Warner Bros has set a US release date of October 6, 2017 for Blade Runner 2049.

My body is ready
 
Looking very good and very cyberpunk so far. Hopefully itl have the look the original wanted but couldn't achieve due to technology
 
Harrison Ford looks amazing for being how ever old is he.

edit* 74 years old.
 
My only concern about what I'm seeing is that the sets appear very much like sets. Maybe it's the lighting, I dunno. But I'm not paying these locations as real places.
 
It can only disappoint. It can't be the original. We've been through this before. I just hope it's not Phantom Menace level fail.
 
cant wait looks pretty awesome and I love ryan gosling

You're damn right it'll be rated R.
 
This will have nice cinematography and dumb moments like the director's other movies.
