Novel: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?; Author: Philip K. Dick
Movie: Blade Runner (1982); Director: Ridley Scott Star: Harrison Ford
Movie: Blade Runner 2049 Director: Denis Villeneuve Stars: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford

Today we watched the trailer for the original Blade Runner movie, followed by the trailer for the new Blade Runner 2049. The original Blade Runner trailer was more than 3 minutes long, showed many scenes from the movie, and didn't have much suspense. The new trailer is 1' 40". It starts with a long scene in which Ryan Gosling is walking through desert, very warily approaching a ruin of some kind. When he gets inside, a voice says, "I used to have your job," then Harrison Ford appears with his gun pointed at Ryan Gosling. Gosling replies, "Things were simpler then," and the trailer ends.
Denis Villeneuve is one of the most interesting directors working today, Ryan Gosling is one of the most interesting actors, and Harrison Ford is still good. The original Blade Runner is considered a classic, it helped inspire many dystopian movies, and it launched the career of Harrison Ford, so maybe I'll watch the original then go to the cinema to see the new one.
