Harrison Ford

It’s considered a classic and it’s got a great new sequel coming out this week. But is the original ‘Blade Runner’ overrated?

Warner Bros. has been pretty good at keeping the secrets of ‘Blade Runner 2049’ well hidden, but the final trailer for the movie really toes that line.

Haven’t seen the original ‘Blade Runner’? Read this before you head to the theater to watch the big sequel this weekend.

The moment Harrison Ford punched Ryan Gosling in the face on the ‘Blade Runner 2049’ set has been captured forever, and oh my, is it glorious.

Denis Villeneuve, Ryan Gosling, and Harrison Ford managed to top one of the most beloved sci-fi films in history with one of the all-time great sequels.

The first people to see the highly anticipated sequel say it’s one of the best movies of 2017 and more than lives up to the legacy of the original.

Here’s a funny thought for you: someone is about to be swayed into seeing Blade Runner 2049 by this new batch of character posters. I’ve written before that Blade Runner 2049 doesn’t really have much left to prove to audiences  —  you’re likely already in or out, and have been for quite some time  —  but that doesn’t apply to everyone. Somewhere, on some website, somebody is going to look at this international poster of Ryan Gosling and think to themselves for the first time, oh, yeah, I think this might actually be a movie I want to see. Job well done, graphic designers.

Last fall, Ryan Gosling revealed that Harrison Ford punched him in the face — like, legit punched him in the face — on the set of Blade Runner 2049. It was for a scene they were filming in Denis Villeneuve’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic, of course. Still, the thought of iconic curmudgeon Harrison Ford punching iconic pretty boy Ryan Gosling in the kisser is just so delightful. In a new interview, Ford responds to Gosling’s face-punching allegation by suggesting his younger co-star should be “grateful” it only happened once. That sound you hear is the firing of shots from Ford’s general vicinity.

Blade Runner 2049 sure seems like it’s planning to turn the whole Blade Runner mythos on its head. All of the promotional material has been teasing some kind of revelation that’ll change the future world of replicants forever, but we still have no idea what this revelation will be. What we do know is it definitely has something to do with Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard, who seems to have been in hiding ever since the events of the original film.

Fans of director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins are undoubtedly stoked for Blade Runner 2049, the upcoming sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic. Those same fans probably wouldn’t mind if either of those guys made a movie that clocked in at almost three hours long. Blade Runner 2049 might be putting that theory to the test, as Villeneuve’s latest film is rumored to have the longest runtime of any blockbuster since Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.
