Release of ‘Blade Runner’ sequel moved up
LOS ANGELES – The future is coming sooner than expected. The sequel to Ridley Scott’s neo-noir dystopia “Blade Runner,” is now set to hit theaters on Oct. 6, 2017 – months ahead of its originally planned February 2018 release. Alcon Entertainment announced the plans Wednesday. Scott will executive produce the film, which begins principal photography this summer with “Sicario” director Denis Villeneuve at the helm.
