It’s always disappointing when a film’s release gets pushed back, but Blade Runner fans can rejoice as the sequel will now hit screens earlier than expected.
Alcon Entertainment have announced that the film has been moved from its original planned release date of 12 January 2018 forward to 6th October 2017; the androids will dream well tonight.
We don’t know a whole lot about the sequel yet, other than the fact that it will be based several decades after the original. Variety (via Squareeyed) are reporting that the film is deep in its pre-production at the moment, with Sicario director Denis Villeneuve at the helm.
Harrison Ford will be reprising the role of Detective Rick Deckard, and is joined by Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright. It is written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.
Ridley Scott is returning to the project in the role of executive producer.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
