What better way to celebrate \u2014 and help ramp up our anticipation for the upcoming sequel \u2014 than an exclusive look at <em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>? \u201cWe are running towards the finishing line right now,\u201d director Denis Villeneuve (<em>Arrival<\/em>) told EW recently. \u201cWe are elated. It feels like Christmas as we look at the completed shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We know what he means. Just take a look at the video above, titled <em>Blade Runner 2049: Time to Live<\/em>, which boasts nearly four minutes from the film along with behind-the-scenes footage. Beginning with Officer K (Ryan Gosling) walking through what looks like deserted casino while Frank Sinatra\u2019s \u201cOne For My Baby (And One More For the Road)\u201d plays on the soundtrack, the completely compelling world of\u00a0<em>2049<\/em> unfolds \u2014 a teeming city with holograms the size of skyscrapers, weather that has gone berserk, Jared Leto playing a mysterious someone named \u201cWallace,\u201d and, of course, the welcome return of Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s kind of fun to play a character 30 years later,\u201d says Ford (who knows of which he speaks, considering he did it fairly recently for\u00a0<em>Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> and has another\u00a0<em>Indiana Jones<\/em> film on the horizon). \u201cThe story, the themes, the stunning visual environments \u2014 it was a pleasure to get back in the world of\u00a0<em>Blade Runner\u00a0<\/em>again.\u201d (With his trademarked wry smile he also adds, \u201cI\u2019m used to trying on old clothes. Happily, they fit.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Filmed in Hungary last year, Villeneuve \u2014 along with production designer Dennis Gassner, art director Paul Ingler, and legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins \u2014 was able to create elaborate and true landscapes in which his actors could work. Of the 13-time Oscar nominee Deakins, Gosling adds, \u201cRoger is a master storyteller. You realize once you are in one of his shots, half your work has already been done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We still don\u2019t know much in the way of the closely guarded plot beyond the official synopsis: \u201cThirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what\u2019s left of society into chaos. K\u2019s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.\u201d But in addition to Gosling, Ford, and Leto, the cast includes Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Ana de Armas, Mackenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, and Barkhad Abdi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never felt so much pressure on my shoulders thinking Ridley Scott will see this movie,\u201d says Villeneuve. As for Scott, who serves as executive producer on\u00a0<em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>, he says simply, \u201cIt\u2019s good to be home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Blade Runner 2049\u00a0<\/em>hits theaters Oct. 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sara Vilkomerson \/ EW This Sunday marks the 35th anniversary of\u00a0Blade Runner, the iconic sci-fi noir from director Ridley Scott.
