The headline pretty much sums up all the info we have about this right now: Robin Wright (The Princess Bride) has joined Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling in the cast of Blade Runner 2. Wright has been absolutely killing it on the Netflix original series House of Cards over the past few years, and not long ago we saw our first look of her in costume for the upcoming Wonder Woman solo film. There's no word yet about whether or not she'll play a Replicant, but she's proven herself a versatile enough actress to essentially be able to pull off just about anything. Plot details are being kept under wraps, though we think we know what the opening scene will be.
Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) is taking over for Ridley Scott in the director's chair this time around, and Roger Deakins will serve as the movie's cinematographer. Shooting starts in July,...

The time is fast-approaching for any longstanding bets of a Blade Runner sequel to be paid up. Despite the practically interminable development time (almost 35 years) the film has had, it looks like momentum has finally caught for Blade Runner 2, as Alcon Entertainment, Sony, and WB have finally announced that the film will begin shooting this coming July.
That's right. While all of us are kicking back watching The Bfg, Ghostbusters, and Star Trek Beyond, Blade Runner 2 will officially be in production. On board as director is Denis Villenueve, who has been on a role with films like Prisoners and Sicario. Returning to the franchise will be Harrison Ford, who seems to be making a pretty penny off of long-awaited sequels as of late, and joining the Blade Runner mythos will be talented pretty boy Ryan Gosling.

When it was confirmed in February that Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard in Alcon Entertainment's Blade Runner sequel, you may have immediately started wondering who would join him in the new neo-noir, as Deckard's sure to run into memorable characters of both the human and replicant varieties. Though we don't know who he'd play, it's been revealed that Ryan Gosling is in talks to star alongside Ford in Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner sequel that's slated to start shooting next summer:

Deadline is reporting that Ryan Gosling is in early negotiations to star in the long-awaited sci-fi sequel Blade Runner 2. In February, Prisoners director Denis Villeneuve was confirmed to direct the follow-up with original leading man Harrison Ford set to reprise his role as Rick Deckard. Initial reports indicate that the story details and character descriptions remain under lock and key for now, but it’s believed that Gosling will co-star alongside Ford.
Ridley Scott, who helmed the original, relinquished his spot in the director’s seat but will stay on as an executive producer alongside Thunderbird Films’ Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble. Blade Runner producers Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will return to produce alongside Alcon Entertainment’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson.
As mentioned above, the story is being kept under wraps, but fans need not worry about whether or not the movie will remain faithful to the mythology of the first.

After all these years, the story of Rick Deckard will continue. A Blade Runner sequel started to pick up steam back in 2011 when it was announced that Ridley Scott would return to direct. While Scott is still creatively involved, it has been revealed that he'll be passing the torch to another director. What is still a big surprise, even after his involvement in the latest Star Wars film, is that Harrison Ford is set to reprise his role as Deckard:

Deadline is reporting that at long last, the Blade Runner sequel has been confirmed, with Harrison Ford set to reprise his role as Rick Deckard. Unfortunately, Ridley Scott will not return as director, but in his place will be Prisoners helmer Denis Villeneuve.
The plan is for production to get underway in summer 2016 with Hampton Fancher (who co-wrote the original) and Michael Green penning the script. Plot details are, of course, scarce, but from what we understand the sequel will take place several decades after the events of the original (which makes sense given Ford’s age).
“We are honored that Harrison is joining us on this journey with Denis Villeneuve, who is a singular talent, as we experienced personally on Prisoners,” Alcon Entertainment’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson said. “Hampton and Michael, with Ridley Scott, have crafted a uniquely potent and faithful sequel to one of the most...

Usually when a studio sends out a press release it’s to announce the film itself or to let us know which actors and crew have signed on. Not the case with today’s Blade Runner 2 press release. The statement Alcon Entertainment released today pretty much just asks Harrison Ford to pleeease come back and play Rick Deckard again…publicly. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before.
Warner Bros-based Alcon Entertainment (‘Prisoners,’ ‘The Blind Side,’ ‘The Book of Eli’) has an offer out to Harrison Ford to reprise his celebrated role of Rick Deckard in its Ridley Scott-directed sequel to ‘Blade Runner,’ it was announced by Alcon co-founders and co-ceo’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson.
Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the 1982 adaptation) and Michael Green are the screenwriters. While the story is being kept under wraps, it takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original.
