15 Most Hotly Anticipated Movie Scenes Of 2017

15. Deckard’s Return – Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner isn’t a natural candidate for sequeldom, but with Harrison Ford doing a victory lap of his iconic roles (Han Solo, Indiana Jones) it made sense he’d return to one of his most influential movies; maybe we can convince him to get around to Air Force Two as well.

Ridley Scott won’t be in the director’s chair this time, but he’ll produce while Arrival’s Denis Villeneuve takes the helm. This time Ryan Gosling’s Blade Runner will be hunting down Ford’s Deckard – for some unexplained reason – thirty years on from the events of the original.

A Blade Runner sequel directed by Villeneuve is reason enough to be excited, but as the trailer itself teased the belated return of Deckard is going to be epic. It may even answer the contentious “Is he or isn’t he a Replicant?” question that’s cling to the original for three decades.
