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...
Agreed, think he's a good actor. Like the fact that he acts well without doing a lot (he's kind of like an American Mark Rylance), think he will suit the future dystopia of the setting well.

He's too... pretty. He just doesn't look gritty enough or worn down enough, like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, like Ford did/does. He comes across as the rookie in a buddy cop movie.

Completely disagree! Have you seen Drive or Fractured? I think he will be able to do beaten down-upon pretty well.
I certainly wouldn't class him in the "pretty but can't act category", I'm glad they've actually gone for someone with some acting chops.

He certainly looked pretty worn down after he got his butt kicked(head beaten) in Only God Forgives. But generally speaking yeah, he doesn't look as rugged as Harrison Ford...he just doesn't have the deep lines in his face. He definitely leans more into the handsome side I guess. Ford has kind of phoned it in the last few roles he's had, some say hes on a roll trying to kill off all of his iconic characters, indy might be next after Deckard lol. As i've said before, the biggest complaint I keep seeing is about Fords grey t shirt which is apparently not sci fi enough. I personally don't mind it, I never figured Deckard to be a particularly fashion conscious guy.
Regardless, if anyone hopes this will top the original you might want to double check your expectations. The best I am hoping for is a movie that is a good sequel to the first. And something that doesn't ruin the first movie, but still remains a good movie in its own right.
Plus, not even Ridley Scott could pull of the same aesthetics his movies had back in the day. The clean sterile sleekness of Prometheus And A;C prove it. Neither of those movies look like they belong as prequels to the industrial CRT low fi Alien. Looking at the gun designs in Alien Covenant it's clear he has become lazy in the art design department. Without HR Gigers influence, the Alien designs and universe simply won't be the same. Sometimes you just need to know when to take a look at what you're doing and just stop.
Ryan Gosling gets a bit typcast by the fact that he's in rom coms and is a bit of a pretty boy, but he can do action very well do. He's become a pretty versatile actor.

Edward James Olmos has confirmed he has a small role in the film. I'm guessing Goslings character officer K bumps into him on his quest to find Deckard. Rumor is another trailer will debut within the next month or two.
NECA was supposed to give out news about their upcoming line of BR 2049 collectibles and figures. But nothing was shown at the NY toy fair. Seems a bit odd they said we would get more info during the fair..but I searched and found nothing.

Johannsson will be performing music from the new movie mid next month. It's going to be hard to top Vangelis, but hopefully we get a good recording of this. The soundtrack is one of the things that will help make or break the movie IMO.
The Blade Runner 2049 news facebook page is pretty on top of all the new information, anyone with a high interest in the film should follow it!
Apparently new footage has been shown at cinemacon, with a possibility of a new and more substantial trailer by wednesday. I can't confirm how legit all the twitter rumors about the trailer being released are...but I will post it here if it turns out.
If we assume that Rick Deckard was 39 in 2029 (same age as Harrison Ford was when he made the film), then he'll be 59 in the sequel; 15 years younger than Harrison Ford is now, and 23 years older than Ryan Gosling. Out of the two of them, I'd choose Harrison Ford to play the role, especially as he looks like Harrison Ford.

Well that's just a case of the script being gak.
The entire idea of a Blade Runner sequel is pretty stupid anyway.
Well no sign of a trailer, definitely looking like IMDB was full of gak. Got about five and half hours left in the day, if there is no trailer then IMDB is going to get crapped on by all sorts of people on twitter.
More footage was also shown in the past hour as WB had a panel going, leto, villeneuve and ana de armas were present to show off some behind the scenes stuff.
Getting tired of refreshing pages...
edit: actually IMDB didn't mention a trailer per say, just footage. Thus it looks like people got carried away and twisted it into oh look we're gonna get a trailer! there was never a trailer due out this week!

Why? It's not like Blade Runner was universally praised on its release. Its strong points (noir style, classical dramatic themes, etc.) are not unique, and can be embraced in a sequel.
I agree that I would have liked to see less of a pure sequel and more of a shared universe film, but you have to fill seats. Presumably, it will also address the Deckard replicant question. I wonder if they will get back to the importance of animals as status symbols from the original story....

If you look close at this image you can see a dog to the right of Gosling, I assume it belongs to Deckard.
I believe a dog would be fairly rare at that point in time, wonder if its artificial/cloned or something.
Still no word on a new trailer, the movie is 6 months or so away from release. My personal guess is that we will see a more substantial trailer before June. The announcement trailer was cool to get early but it isn't much to go on. Can't really get a good feel for the movie when it only shows 2 characters and half the trailer was blackness detailing director/producer names and production companies etc. Also the Star Wars trailer is due out in the second half of this month, so the question is will warner bros put out a trailer before Star Wars gets all the hype, or wait until things have died down...
Just this last weekend, I took my wife and son to the 'Music Box' Theatre to 'Blade Runner: The Final Cut' on the big screen. It's one of the few remaining grand, old movie palace theatres from the 20's still standing and one of my favorite places to go for movies. Let's put it this way, we came in and grabbed our concession goodies...I had two fingers of Bourbon, thank you...and then grabbed our seats while the organist at the front of the theatre played on the original, still functional organ while we waited for the curtain to go up. Yeah, it's that cool! Anyway, my son hadn't seen the movie in it's entirety yet...yes, it's been one of my parental failings...but now he's a mad fiend for 'Blade Runner' and can't wait for the release later this year. The Final Cut version had some new footage I'd not seen before, but any reason to see one of my favorite films at a great venue, well, sign me up.
Live Q&A monday 9am pacific time. I read that a trailer has been rated and usually that means its dropping real soon. I'm hoping we get a much better look at it this time...see you guys when the trailer is up.
New posters:

IMO, this looks and feels and sounds like a Blade Runner film.
Jared Leto's character looks like a proper villain. Gosling looks like a Blade Runner who may have seen too much, too soon. the atmospherics to me look amazing.
Like, I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but this looks like it will be a properly good sequel.
I have no idea what the plot is for this having watched that latest trailer.....
Still looking forward to it as the original is in my top 10 of all time. But.

I'm glad they managed to show so much without spoiling the hell out of it. I mean the opening scene of the movie is more or less confirmed now. Ridley scott talked about the opening scene, with the tree..lone cottage in a wasteland etc. Bautista plays that character Ridley was talking about.
I've seen a lot of people nitpicking the hell out of it. Stuff like it's not gritty enough, is everybody white in 2049? Everybody is too good looking etc etc. To me the movie looks like a dream come true.

Ridley Scott has some oversight on the film, so I have hopes for it.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
