Warner Bros. Pictures/ Alcon Entertaiment/ Columbia Pictures have just dropped the first full trailer for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s stunning 1980s sci-fi masterpiece.

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 LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

In the first film Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with. Blade Runner was released in cinemas taking only $32 million during its initial run. Its budget was reported to be around the $28 million mark, so it didn’t turn a profit during its first run. Since its first release, the film has gone on to become a cult classic with multiple versions being released over the 35 years since its debut.
From executive producer Ridley Scott and director Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, MacKenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, Carla Juri, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto.
The script is written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green. Shooting took place in Budapest, Hungary between July 2016 and November 2016.
