It's been 35 years since director Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner hit the screens.
Now the first teaser from the long-awaited sequel, Blade Runner 2049 has dropped.
And, judging from Monday's 106-second glimpse, it promises to be every bit as dark and dystopian as the original.

Didn’t see either, though I did hear mostly good things about Fury Road. Possible exception.
Sometimes reboots work. More often than not, they fail hard. Hopefully lady Ghostbusters was the last straw.
Well made films that don’t depress and bore me. Even Harrison Ford hated making ‘Bladerunner’ and he was the star. I’ve saw original in 82’ and the directors cut in theaters. Highly over rated.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Best lineS EVER. IMHO
I think that's the year the movie is set in, not when it will come out. The original was in 2019, and so this one is set 30 years later.

A compilation of the outtakes from Blade Runner. Pretty interesting IMO, though mostly ‘narrative’ by Ford.
‘Noir’ narrative is cool.
The protagonist in each one runs away from society, to (presumably) live happily ever after?
Ah. Missed that. Read it too fast. Apologies.
One of the best movie lines of my lifetime.
I think I might try to find the old book and read it again. Hope it will be good, though I was always taken by PKD’s writings.
Ford didn’t want to do the ‘noir’ narration, so he did it as badly as possible in hopes it would be dropped.
