There are things you need to know before seeing “Blade Runner 2049,” and things that can wait to be revealed. In fact, it’s probably best to keep any advance information to just the basics. In any event, you probably don’t want to watch this trailer.
In fact, I haven’t even watched it, because I have IMAX ticket for this weekend and I’m going to go on internet blackout as much as possible before my screening on Sunday. So, I’ll just remind you that Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto make up the ensemble, and I’ll toss in the non-spoilery official synopsis:
Three decades after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
I don’t have to tell you that “Blade Runner 2049” opens on Friday. And hopefully everyone can at least wait until Monday before diving into the spoiler game. We had hoped Warner Bros. would be able to wait a bit longer, but I guess anything goes in marketing. [Trailer Track]
