Blade Runner 2 is currently in pre-production with Harrison Ford confirmed to reprise his role as Rick Deckard, while Ryan Gosling is heavily linked in the lead role. Cinematographer Roger Deakins also hinted that the film could be released in 3D.
Much anticipation has been circling around the project which will see Ford's return as the replicant slayer, Rick Deckard, but as previously revealed by Ridley Scott, Rick will not entirely be the center of the film. Moreover, he also revealed that actor Ryan Gosling is highly possible to be the lead actor for the sequel.
Although many are having doubts on whether or not Gosling would be a good addition to the cast, Independent reported that the actor's good track record, and legitimate interest in characters he portray in his previous projects could be a good sign for Blade Runner 2.
Aside from that, the film will also be helmed by director Denis Villeneuve who, as reported by Entertainment Weekly revealed his love for the franchise. "It's one of my favorite movies of all time. I know this movie by heart. I know every single shot of it. I have a very intimate relationship with this movie", Villeneuve said.
Also, when asked about developments in pre-production, Villeneuve said that they are currently 'dreaming and drawing' the project. "We are dreaming about it, drawing it, dreaming, drawing. The movie should be ready in 2017.", he added.
Moreover, as cited by JoBlo, cinematographer Roger Deakins also revealed that the film will likely be converted in 3D. "No, I won't. I've been offered it. I just don't want to. I think I'm gonna do this film with Denis [Villeneuve] that'll be made into 3D eventually, but it won't be shot in 3D. I don't really like watching 3D. I mean, I've worked on a lot of animated movies that were 3D", Deakins revealed.
Blade Runner 2 is set to be directed by Denis Villeneuve and screenplay by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green. Plot details for forthcoming sci-fi flick is currently under wraps but more details are expected to be revealed when production takes progress.
