OP updated with new trailers:





Trailer 2:




Trailer 3:




Trailer 4: (August 22)







http://www.themovienetwork.com/article/blade-runner-2049-debut-trailer-coming-soon

All sorts of news articles about a trailer release for the new Blade Runner, any time between now and probably later next week. I'm pretty surprised, the movie is set to release next October which is a ways off. But still very excited, i'm probably more excited to see this trailer itself than I am SW rogue one or any new movie. BR, my favorite movie of all time gets a sequel, for better or for worse! out of all the movies that don't need a sequel Blade Runner is definitely up there. And its set many years later...whether its set in the same Los Angeles who knows. I am cautiously optimistic, my greatest fears are about the soundtrack, bad CGI, a lack of grittiness and realness. The thing about Blade Runner is it was made using physical things, models, sets, actual real rain. Everythng felt physical and textured, like you could touch it and it was fully there. With CGI all of that is not the same. I hope Denis Villeneuve captured the neo noir elements as well, I guess we'll have a glimpse real soon.

BR is absolutely my favorite movie. Phenomenal cast, great story, gritty sets...cryogenically frozen eyeballs on James Hong's shoulder, what's not to like!? I'm going to be all over this movie like Chaos on Horus!

He is really a robot or is he not?

The director said he left this ambiguous, probably a smart move.

If you believe this articles legitimacy, then it looks like they won't be revealing it. Ridley scott isn't directing it, which i'm kind of glad. Prometheus was a mess, and the cast of Alien Covenant looks just as dreadful with james franco in it, Scott has recently shown he can't figure out how to get a good script and cast characters properly, I mean come on look at the ship crew in Prometheus. Those people were clowns,...there is only so much suspension of disbelief I can spare. RS can certainly make a good looking movie, but Alien Covenant is his last chance for me....i'm willing to give him that, one more chance to make a good sci fi movie.

As for which ending they would use. Hmm, the ending with the hints of Deckard being a replicant makes no mention of the 4-year lifespan exception, IIRC, so he would be dead. On the other hand, who is to say that the Deckard in this new movie isn't a replicant? Maybe the real Deckard (from the first movie) died a few years back, but because they "need his magic", they create a replicant of him?

There really are a crazy number of ways they can go with this.

Updated the op with the trailer. I'm pretty happy with how it looks so far, it is as much a teaser as it is a trailer though.

Yeah, I was really excited to see it, and then was all "that's it?" Not much to see, really. Apart from the gun, there wasn't much else to make me go "squeee!"

Ooh, I can see they're playing up the world's environment being as screwed as the advertisements said it would be in the first movie. Deckard was in a post-apocalyptic version of his apartment right?

Re: the replicant thing. Aye, best to leave it ambiguous. Its been flipped flopped on repeatedly. The unicorn ending heavily implies it (i.e. his partner knows he's been having unicorn dreams because its a programmed trait, but lets him go in the end), but whatever. The age thing could be hand waved easily, but meh, there's other plot points to dwell on.

I wonder if that was the original gun (held in a private collection), or a replica. If it is a replica then I'd like to know who made it. Adam Savage made his own a while back, which is about the closest copy I've seen, so if they were re-making it I wonder if he had a hand in that at all (he tends to be pulled into this sort of thing, but keep mum about it for years...). Ideally their prop designers will be using the original techniques rather than 3D printing, and well if they are those are some hellish parts to source.

If we're lucky, though, the attention this brings may lead to some affordable replicas of That Gun.

There's not a ton to talk about regarding the trailer specifically. But it does give us an excuse to note the difference between being excited because a movie looks (a) groundbreaking or (b) authentic. Nothing about this looks groundbreaking, which is exactly what made the first one worthwhile. But it does look pretty authentic. It could be kind of neat if that's the point: the movie itself is a replicant. Did Tyrell intend to just copy humans or to create something more? What is meant by that motto, more human than human? Rephrase the same question on the level of the film itself: is this just a cash grab or are they really aiming for something more? If all the movie needs to do is "look like Bladerunner" then who cares.

I feel like you should be punished for that.

But...not yet, I suppose.

I think he'll do fine, I liked him in Drive, Only God Forgives, Place Beyond the Pines, Fracture,

Drive and Only God Forgives were basically neon lit neo noir movies anyway...

Well honestly I haven't seen many groundmaking movies in the past 10 years, movies don't blow my mind like they used to. I think it's getting to the point where everything has been done before, and to do something new you're gonna have to take incredible experimental risks, and embrace weirdness in movies. The only director I can think of right now who could have made a crazy looking BR is Nicolas Winding Refn. Every time he makes another movie it gets more experimental and odd, plus he has a sense of aesthetics. Villeneuve however has his films done in a very minimalist way, and it shows in the trailer. The problem is that BR isn't minimalist, its rich and highly detailed. Like people were saying Harrison is wearing an ordinary T shirt in the teaser...and there is a lot of empty space throughout. I think it will work for the type of movie that this is going to be. Because Blade Runner of the 80s reflected that time period, BR 2049 will reflect the minimalist aesthetic of modern times.

Yeah I wouldn't call it a trailer, this was a teaser no doubt. Until they release an actual real trailer I wouldn't expect much. I don't think we will see more footage for another 3-5 months.

Considering one of the themes in the original short story was the ecological destruction of earth in a nuclear war resulting in mass extinction of most of the worlds wildlife (hence peoples desire to get off Earth and go to the colonies and the prestige attached to having an actual animal rather than an electric one), I would go with sand or ash. And it appears that the wasteland is encroaching on human civilisation.

That car. Its... its a regular 80s style car with some sci fi junk slapped onto it. Perfect!

(Especially considering they probably built the whole thing from scratch and its just meant to look like a car they bolted crap onto)

Interestingly, the words on the building, in the trailer, where he meets Harrison Ford is "luck" in Korean.

Damn you American date format, I thought this was going to be a summer release. Like most here I am very interested to see where they go with this, but there is more than a sneaking suspicion that it can only pale in comparison to the original.

I believe its snow, those car machines in the trailer are designed to melt the snow, the director joked that it was a canadians wet dream. It might not rain in LA anymore, now it just snows (toxic snow). And the original movie diverged from the book to the point where i'd say they are loosely related. The new movie will likely go farther into a different direction. I've heard some people say that the desert could be mars though, which is an interesting idea but not too likely.
