Ryan Gosling to Star in BLADE RUNNER 2
As you know, Ridley Scott has been developing Blade Runner 2 with director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners). It's a sequel that a lot of fans have been looking forward to seeing. Harrison Ford is already set to reprise his role as Rick Deckard, and it looks like he will be joined by Ryan Gosling.
Deadline is reporting that Gosling is in negotiations to join the film in a lead role. There are no details on the story or his character, but it takes place several decades after the end of the original 1982 film.
Gosling has the perfect presence for a sci-fi noir film like Blade Runner 2, and I think it would be great if he decides to join the project. It's easy to imagine him in the world that Scott created all those years ago.
The actor is also in talks to join Guillermo del Toro's The Haunted Mansion, which is another film I hope he jumps on board. The guy is just a talented actor, and it'd be fun to see him in these productions. Blade Runner 2 starts shooting in the summer of 2016, and it will come from a script written by Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original) and Michael Green.
