\u201cThe Martian\u201d actress Mackenzie Davis has joined Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford in Alcon\u2019s \u201cBlade Runner\u201d sequel.<\/p>\n

Robin Wright is also on board with \u201cSicario\u201d director Denis Villeneuve helming.<\/p>\n

The sequel, set several decades after the original, is written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, and succeeds the initial story by Fancher and David Peoples based on Philip K. Dick\u2019s novel \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.\u201d Story details are not being revealed.<\/p>\n

The film is set to bow on Oct. 6, 2017.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. is handling domestic distribution and Sony will handle international distribution.<\/p>\n

Multi-Oscar nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins will reunite with Villeneuve on the project.<\/p>\n

Alcon Entertainment acquired the film, television and ancillary franchise rights to \u201cBlade Runner\u201d in 2011 from the late producer Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic science-fiction thriller. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will produce along with Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. Bud Yorkin will receive producer credit.<\/p>\n

Ridley Scott will serve as executive producer. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEOs of Thunderbird Films, will also serve as executive producers along with Bill Carraro.<\/p>\n

Vancouver-born Davis studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Shortly thereafter, she was discovered by director Drake Doremus for her acting debut in the 2013 independent feature film \u201cBreathe\u201d co-starring alongside Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones and Amy Ryan. Her recent films include the Oscar-nominated drama \u201cThe Martian\u201d and the comedy \u201cThat Awkward Moment\u201d starring Zac Efron.<\/p>\n

Davis is represented by UTA and Thruline Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
