Scott and Blade Runner 2049 director Dennis Villenueve have revealed a brief synopsis of the forthcoming film in conjunction the trailer’s premiere:
“Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.”
