BLADE RUNNER Sequel Adds Dave Bautista

Development on director Denis Villeneuve’s forthcoming Blade Runner sequel is slowly taking shape, and much to the delight of folks fond of the 1982 sci-fi noir, as well as Villeneuve’s own 2015 action hit, Sicario. Having seen both, I can honestly share in the favoring opinions of those who feel Villenueve is an exquisite fit for the kind of concentrated and immersive telling that occurs, as exhibited in the first film, and will likely make actor Harrison Ford’s own return to form even more ceremonial. For this, we get a great looking cast that now adds Kickboxer: Vengeance co-star Dave Bautista, who has done impressively for himself in front of a camera with a script. His role currently remains undetailed while said only to be that of an important supporting one next to Ford as well as Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright.

Not having seen director Denis Villeneuve’s crime epic, Sicario at the time, I didn’t really know what to expect from his take on the forthcoming sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi noir, Blade Runner with Villenueve in the chair. That said, I actually got to see Sicario last month on VOD, and the hype is definitely there with an immersive story and script, and performances that hit all the right notes telling me virtually everything I needed to know about the kind of quality film you can expect with Villeneuve at the helm. Thus, if you haven’t seen Sicario, do check it out as it will give you some much needed perspective on how Villeneuve’s formula may be applied to the milleu that may be established in a Blade Runner sequel. That film is now set for a January 12, 2018 with actor Harrison Ford reprising his role from the […]

Josh Brolin Joins Mexico Border Crime Thriller SICARO And AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

I’m kind of a fan of former Goonie, actor Josh Brolin. No, I haven’t Spike Lee’s version of Oldboy yet, and I will, eventually. But I don’t really feel like he’s gotten his just dues as an actor, although he has earned some approval among filmgoers and film producers on the level, so much so that he was once a named candidate for the role of Bruce Wayne in the then-untitled Batman V. Superman movie. Furthermore, I have also enjoyed seeing him on screen since appearing in films No Country For Old Men, American Gangster and Gangster Squad – films that didn’t need to rely heavily on special effects to appeal to me as opposed to just applying human talent through acting and physical performance. And it just so happens that filmgoers like myself will get to see more of that when Brolin joins the production of the upcoming crime […]
