Since Blade Runner 2049 was teased in its first trailer in late 2016, the news front on the sequel has been relatively quiet, but that's about to change, as Warner Bros. has announced that a Facebook Live Q&A with director Denis Villenuve and co-stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford will take place on Monday, May 8th.

From Warner Bros.: "Unlock the future. We invite you to tune in to a Live Q&A with Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and Denis Villenuve on Monday, May 8th at 9:00 AM PT. Join us at Facebook Blade Runner 2049."

Synopsis: "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."

Directed by Denis Villeneuve from a screenplay by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green (and based on characters from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick), Blade Runner 2049 stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto.

The sequel is executive produced by Ridley Scott, Tim Gamble, Frank Giustra, Yale Badick, Val Hill, Bill Carraro, with Andrew A. Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Bud Yorkin, and Cynthia Yorkin onboard as producers.

An Alcon Entertainment film, Warner Bros. will release Blade Runner 2049 in theaters and IMAX on October 6th, 2017. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, and in case you missed them, check out official images from Blade Runner 2049.
