Looks pretty cool

I have never seen any of the movies that this director has done. Never heard of him but I don't pay that much attention to directors anyway.

Original Blade Runner did nothing for me TBH but I watched it when it came out and I was early teens and I haven't seen it since since I didn't care for it back then.

I know you're joking around, but for a serious answer: studio probably felt it was too dark for the summer season, and you gotta space films out to avoid competition. October was the clearest spot on the schedule. The big event geek movies for the year (March was glutted, and the box office was not kind to PR or GitS):

January 27: Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter
March 3: Logan
March 10: Kong: Skull Island
March 17: Beauty and the Beast
March 24: Power Rangers
March 31: Ghost in the Shell
May 5: Guardians of the Galaxy 2
June 2: Wonder Woman
July 7: Spider-Man: Homecoming
July 14: War for the Planet of the Apes
July 21: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
August 4: The Dark Tower
September 1: Fallen
September 8: It
October 6: Blade Runner 2049
November 3: Thor 3: Ragnarok
November 17: Justice League
December 15: Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi

But I like the dark. I guess you're right though. Also, it looks like they needed a money maker for the fall.

Alien Covenant is coming out this week.. That looks pretty damm dark too. Not that I'm complaining. It looks good.

Both films are directed by Ridley Scott which is a good sign.

Wow, decker is back.

Lets hope he can find the correct runway....

I concur.

Ridley Scott can obviously hit a home run, but he can also strike out on 3 pitches.

One of the worst big-budget movies I've ever seen:

The wooden ww2 era landing craft were laugh-out loud funny.

Agreed. He's generally been very good though.

Has anyone seen one of his earlier films, the Duelists? It's set in the Napoleonic wars. I wonder what others think?

Never seen it, I'm going to see if I can find it streaming somewhere.

Second full trailer released:

International version of the trailer in my previous post (numbering is different because the international distributor, Sony, counted the teaser trailer as trailer #1 rather than trailer #0 like the domestic distributor, WB, did):

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Looking good. Looking good.

 

[RegentDenali]

Wow.

@calsnowskier: please merge this thread with the earlier Blade Runner thread that has the full set of trailers? Thanks.

 

[PatsFan2003]

"Cautiously optimistic"??? Harrison Ford returning + Denis Villeneuve + Ryan Gosling = "Cautiously optimistic"?

It looks real good but the trailer seemed to tell us too much. I hope that's not the whole plot.
