Sara Vilkomerson \/ Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling is such a fan of Ridley Scott\u2019s 1982\u00a0Blade Runner<\/em>\u00a0that years ago when the actor lived in downtown Los Angeles, he and his friends found themselves drawn to many of the locales featured in the film. \u201cThere were more than a few nights when we\u2019d wander around the Bradbury Building or Union Station half-pretending we were blade runners,\u201d Gosling says. Now the actor, 36, is starring as a blade runner in the much-anticipated sequel, directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival<\/em>) and featuring the return of Rick Deckard himself, Harrison Ford.<\/p>\n

Read on for more from Gosling about\u00a0Blade Runner\u00a0<\/em>2049<\/em>\u00a0and working with Ford, and check out an exclusive new photo from the film below.<\/p>\n

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You\u2019ve never done a big-budget film like this before, though I imagine you\u2019ve had offers.
\n<\/strong>RYAN GOSLING:\u00a0<\/strong>I guess. I try not to discriminate against budget, but they never felt right. I\u2019m glad I waited. [Blade Runner<\/em>] was one of the first films that I saw that I didn\u2019t know how to feel when it was over. The line between heroes and villains was so blurred. It\u2019s not a hero\u2019s journey in any way. When I was a kid that was the storyline I had seen. Thematically, there\u2019s just so much there \u2014 it was rich, it was melancholy, it was romantic. It\u2019s so special. So many other things have stolen ideas from it, but they could never steal its soul. I felt lucky to enter that world.<\/p>\n

So how was the big-budget experience? Was craft services better?
\n<\/strong>Well\u2026how do I say this? We were in Budapest. Once a week, a truck would come around and it was serving \u201cmeat in a cone.\u201d<\/p>\n

What kind of meat?
\n<\/strong>See, that was what we could never quite figure out. I\u2019m lucky for many reasons that this was my big-budget film, but one of them is that you could see where the money was going. The sets were so beautiful, and every aesthetic choice was for the cleanest, most efficient, elegant way to communicate story. When [cinematographer] Roger Deakins creates a frame, half your job is done for you.<\/p>\n

Roger Deakins has been nominated for an Oscar 13 times but never won. My fingers are crossed this will be the one.
\n<\/strong>I\u2019m glad you said that. Maybe that should be the title of this piece. His whole team is incredible. One of my favorite shots when I was younger was this shot in\u00a0Barton Fink<\/em>, when there\u2019s this slow push in on the wallpaper. I remember feeling so tense and thinking, why am I so tense? It\u2019s just wallpaper. But then I realized it\u2019s the shot that is creating that tension \u2014 it was a lightbulb moment for me. We were shooting a scene in\u00a02049\u00a0<\/em>when the camera starts to push in on me. I remember when it was over I said to Bruce [Hamme], who is Roger\u2019s dolly grip, \u2018Bruce, did you work on\u00a0Barton Fink<\/em>?\u2019 He said yes. I said, \u2018Did you do that slow push in on the wallpaper?\u2019 He said, yeah. I said, \u2018Am I the wallpaper right now?\u2019 He said, yes. I told him I\u2019ve never been so honored. [Laughs<\/em>] We were talking about titles for the film for a while and I really advocating for\u00a0Slow Bruce Rising<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What is it like to costar with Harrison Ford? Does one ever get used to the Harrison Ford-ness of it all?
\n<\/strong>The best part is that you hang out with him and you realize that all those iconic moments from his films that you love are his \u2014 like \u201cI love you,\u201d \u201cI know\u201d from\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>, or shooting the guy in\u00a0Indiana Jones<\/em>. He\u2019s just like that all the time. Normally I\u2019d say there are hundreds of ways to play any scene. Unless you work with Harrison and you realize there\u2019s only one great way and he\u2019s already figured it out.<\/p>\n

Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford have been arguing over Rick Deckard\u2019s replicant status for decades now. I heard there was a dinner during filming where they got into it again.
\n<\/strong>Yeah. It\u2019s kind of like a McGregor vs. Mayweather situation. But I wasn\u2019t there. I thought there\u2019d be an epic battle but the truth is it turns out they like and respect each other very much. Which is great.<\/p>\n

When I spoke to Denis Villeneuve, he said that you were a muse for him. He also said you have a smile that melts the camera.
\n<\/strong>Oh, good. He got my email.<\/p>\n
