Time to start photoshopping at least one new face on the old box art now that we have a release date and a new star in Ryan Gosling. (credit: Warner Bros.)
Though principal filming of Blade Runner 2 has not yet begun, producing company Alcon Entertainment has already locked down the sequel's release date: January 12, 2018.
Deadline Hollywood announced the news Thursday with a roundup of everything else we currently know about the upcoming film's production. The film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve (who made 2015 thriller Sicario) and co-written by the original film's co-writer Hampton Fancher, based on a story he previously worked up with Ridley Scott. (Scott has indicated in interviews that his work on Prometheus 2 will prohibit him from contributing any further to the Blade Runner sequel.)
The lead acting gig is Ryan Gosling's, but we've yet to find any good "hey girl" meme images about Gosling's Blade Runner 2 role. (Might we suggest: "Hey girl, you're a benefit and you're my problem.") The studio has already confirmed that Blade Runner 2 will take place "decades" after the original film—which means Harrison Ford's real-life aging should match what we see in his reprisal of Rick Deckard, which was announced in February 2015.
