(December 19, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA) The year 2017 is just a few days away and news of potential blockbuster films of the year ahead is starting to find its way out. For us one of the biggest highlights of the new year promises to be the revisit to Blade Runner.
The new film, Blade Runner 2049, is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Ryan Gosling as a new Blade Runner. Here’s the synopsis we’ve received: 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.
