Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s Dave Bautista joins Harrison Ford in Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner sequel
He was last seen in James Bond’s 24th adventure SPECTRE and whilst he is currently working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 it has been announced that Wrestler turned Actor Dave Bautista has joined the stellar cast of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner sequel.
Variety reports that Bautista has joined the acclaimed cast of Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright, in the sequel that is due to arrive in Cinemas on January 12 2018.
Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, the currently untitled sequel will be written by Michael Green who will co write with the co-writer of the original Hampton Fancher based on a story by Fancher and Ridley Scott which takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original which was set in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles.
Based on the 1968 Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner saw Ford as an ex-police officer tracking down escaped genetically engineered replicants who return to Earth illegally in order to extend their four-year life spans.
Production on the sequel is slated to begin in July, with acclaimed Cinematographer Roger Deakins reuniting with Villeneuve on the eagerly awaited film.
