"Blade Runner," the sci-fi movie about replicants was released on 1982. It was directed by Ridley Scott, and starred Harrison Ford in one of Ford's most critically acclaimed roles.

The film focuses on Rick Deckard's investigation on rogue replicants, where he must terminate them. In the film, a replicant is a biorobotic android with a fixed life span. Should a replicant go rogue, a blade runner is hired to "retire" them.

Its acclaim came from the countless philosophical questions about existentialism and the value of life. With the film's dark atmosphere, it paints a good contrast between humans and androids.

Fans who couldn't get more were teased about a sequel, and on who would star in it. Scott was first signed to direct the sequel, and is now given executive producer credit.

"Blade Runner 2049" will be directed by Denis Villeneuve who has directed gritty films such as "Sicario" and an acclaimed sci-fi film "Arrival."  Villeneuve's film credits fits the style and direction that the previous "Blade Runner" had.

Ryan Gosling now plays the titular role of the blade runner, as LAPD Officer K. Harrison Ford still plays Rick Deckard who is now missing for 30 years in the film.

The original movie was set in Los Angeles during 2019, focused on the towering buildings of its city limits. Blade Runner 2049, is shown to expand on that and shows the land outside the city and shows a less welcoming setting.

Style and direction are on the right track as seen on the trailer, with Denis Villeneuve capturing the tone of the original film. A rustic tint is thrown on scenes outside the city, while a darker blue tint is shown when Ryan Gosling's character returns to the city.

The trailer shows Harrison Ford's character saying "I had your job once". This easily sums up the whole relationship between the sequel and the original movie.
