The first trailer forDenis Villeneuve’sBlade Runner 2049is now available. It’s not much in the way of plot (but boy is it atmospheric!); thankfully a new plot synopsis helps to clear things up a bit. It appears thatRyan Gosling’s character, mysteriously named K, is chasing after a secret in a future world that’s even more of a dystopia than the oneHarrison Ford’s Deckard occupied 30 years earlier. The two ultimately cross paths in an unexpected way, as is revealed in this first teaser trailer. (You can get a closer look at the stunning scenes in15 images from the sequel here.)
Our first look at Villeneuve’s take onBlade Runneroffers up a visual treat that’s one part foggy streets and silhouettes, and one part washed-out, yellow hellscape. The cinematography works to showcase Villeneuve’s style while also paying homage back toRidley Scott’s original, conjuring up images of a future Los Angeles as well as the exotic locale of the Tyrell Corporation and its imposing headquarters. It’s a brief look that definitely has us wanting more.
