‘Blade Runner 2049’ featurette asks ‘What is a Blade Runner’?

Blade Runner 2049

Hot on the heels of the World of Blade Runner featurette comes a new piece that asks ‘What is a Blade Runner?’ Clearly designed for the uninitiated, it holds few surprises for existing fans, but it does open with a very familiar piece of white and red text.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 is set 30 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.

There’s very little new footage in this brief featurette, at least none that we could find, but there are new interview snippets with Ryan Gosling, director Denis Villeneuve, and the one and only Ridley Scott.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 opens in Australian cinemas on 5 October 2017 from Sony Pictures Releasing.
