Blade Runner 2 in the works and Ridley Scott recently revealed bits of details about what to expect in the sequel. He also revealed that he will not have a final cut on the film contrary to what happened in the previous film.
While promoting his recent film, The Martian, Scott was able to let out a couple of information pertaining to his next projects such as Prometheus sequel, Alien 5, and the Blade Runner 2, and according to Collider, when asked about whether Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard is a replicant or not, the director did not shy away with his answer. "Of course he's a bloody Replicant! He's going to have to admit it.", Scott said.
However, Scott denied to explain how Rick Deckard came to live for more than 4 years given that Replicants die after such time. "I'm not going to tell you. You'll have to see the story. It'll all make sense.", the director added.
Furthermore, according to We Got This Covered, Scott revealed that the film will be set a couple of years after the events in the first film and will feature Ryan Gosling. "[The original film] was 2017, so coming back it'll be 2047, roughly. As young as you can play Ryan Gosling. He's 34 but he looks 27 when he's doing his push-ups. So maybe 2050", Scott revealed.
He also noted having a final cut in the upcoming film will no longer be the issue. Previously, Scott released a director's cut years after the release of the first film, which altered vital moments in the film.
No details have been revealed regarding the film's plot yet, but according to a report by Screen Rant, it could center on finding Rick Deckard, which would also explain how his lifespan differs from other Replicant.
Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the upcoming Blade Runner 2, and screenplay written by Hampton Fancher, and Michael Green. It will be produced by Ridley Scott, Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove, Bud Yorkin, and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. No release date has been announced for the film as of yet, but more details are expected to be revealed when production progress.
