Rid­ley Scot­t’s Blade Run­ner (1982) has pro­vid­ed us mate­r­i­al for many posts over the years (find some favorites below). If his upcom­ing sequel Blade Run­ner 2049 yields half as much, we’ll count our­selves lucky.

The offi­cial trail­er for the new film came out today. Look for the film in the­aters on Octo­ber 6th.
