‘Blade Runner 2049’: Deckard Returns From the Shadows in New Trailer (Video)

Sequel’s new trailer had its premiere on “Good Morning America”

Get ready, sci-fi fans. Harrison Ford is back as Deckard, and he’s teaming up with Ryan Gosling in “Blade Runner 2049,” which got a new trailer on Monday morning that premiered on ABC during “Good Morning America.”

The new footage teases more plot details about the eagerly awaited movie which is set 30 years after the events of Ridley Scott‘s classic “Blade Runner”  — including more scenes of Jared Leto’s bad guy who at one point darkly intones, “The future of the species is finally unearthed.”

Gosling stars as Officer K, an LAPD officer who tracks down rogue androids called replicants, who look exactly like humans but are manufactured to work on offshore colonies.

But when K’s work leads him to a secret that could bring about the end of humanity, he follows a trail of bread crumbs that leads him to Deckard, the former cop who went missing after the end of the first movie.

Directed by “Sicario” and “Arrival” filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, the film also stars Ana De Armas, Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Edward James Olmos, and Barkhad Abdi.

Hampton Fancher, who wrote the first “Blade Runner” returns with a new screenplay co-written by Michael Green. Andrew A. Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Bud Yorkin, and Cynthia Yorkin are producers, with Ridley Scott as executive producer.

“Blade Runner 2049” hits theaters October 6. Watch the trailer in the clip above.
