Want a look at what a futuristic Los Angeles will look like in the Blade Runner sequel? EW unveiled new concept art from the follow-up film that features the West Coast under siege by noxious snow and rain.
The concept art below (courtesy of EW) offers an intriguing look at a bleak Los Angeles set at least thirty years after the original Blade Runner that took place in 2019, placing the sequel in the late 2040s or beyond.
Scheduled for an October 6th, 2017 release, the Blade Runner sequel stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford (who will reprise his role as Rick Deckard), Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Dave Bautista, Carla Juri, Cameron Howe, and Barkhad Abdi.
An Alcon Entertainment movie, the Blade Runner sequel begins filming this month with Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) behind the camera and acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins on board to work his magic. Ridley Scott will executive produce the project, with Warner Bros. releasing the movie in the States and Sony Pictures handling overseas distribution.
Set at least 30 years after the conclusion of 1982’s Blade Runner, the sequel was penned by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green. Fancher is no stranger to the film’s futuristic world, having co-written the original movie with David Peoples, basing the script on the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? No other story details have been unveiled yet, but stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates.
