Gosling Blade Runner

From Deadline

Ryan Gosling is in negotiations to star in Alcon Entertainment’s sequel to Blade Runner, the film that will be directed by Prisoners helmer Denis Villeneuve. Ridley Scott, who directed the original classic based on the Philip K. Dick novel, is aboard as executive producer. Harrison Ford, who starred in the original film, reprises his role as replicant hunter Rick Deckard. Tapping into what is considered hallowed ground is risky — even Scott got mixed results when he expanded his Alien film withPrometheus — but Gosling, the Drive star, adds a certain cool element to the effort.

Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original) and Michael Green have written the original screenplay based on an idea by Fancher and Scott. The story takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original. Story details, as well as Gosling’s character, are not being revealed. Shooting begins in summer 2016.

Gosling, who once worked primarily in the indie space, seems to be going for mainstream stardom. Among the projects he’s enlisted in is Guillermo del Toro’s The Haunted Mansion. He also is circling with Emma Stone the Damien Chazelle-directed Lionsgate pic La La Land and next will be seen in Shane Black’s The Nice Guys opposite Russell Crowe and in Terrence Malick’sWeightless. He is in production on The Big Short, starring opposite Christian Bale, Brad Pitt and Steve Carell.
