            Today, the first trailer for the highly-anticipated Blade Runner 2049 was released. The movie is a sequel to the 1982 cult classic film that was directed by Ridley Scott. Though there is essentially no reveal of the plot in the short clip, the trailer is gorgeous and atmospheric.

            Blade Runner 2049 will follow K (played by Ryan Gosling) chasing after a secret in a future world even more dystopian than the one that Harrison Ford’s lead character from the first film, Deckard occupied thirty years earlier. The first look gives us great imagery in terms of cinematography with foggy streets and silhouetted shots. It’s clear that director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario) and legendary cinematographer, Roger Deakins are paying homage to Scott’s original.

            Check out the first teaser trailer for Blade Runner 2049 below! In addition to Gosling and Ford, the movie also stars Mackenzie Davis, Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Barkhad Abdi and Robin Wright. Blade Runner 2049 opens on October 6^th, 2017.
