You didn’t see logo for SnapFacetagram? 😃

My mistake! Atari made it. Or stuck around long enough after its reintroduction to the market(? it’s confusing).
Just watching a breakdown of the trailer now.

Why do these people sound like they’re whispering into a microphone, you ask? Because the director has them whispering into a microphone, I’d guess.
I find it terribly inauthentic; I hope they re-dub it.

I’m going to hate this movie _so much_.

I will wait for spoilers and reviews. If they try to pull the bullshit that Deckard was a replicant (don’t give a shit that Ridley Scott thought so, the book says otherwise), then I will ignore this film.

Hopefully, “they hunted us down” means “what’s-her-name the replicant and the former blade runner who was sheltering her”.

Heh, I had the same thought. When I first heard that line, I thought “shit, they just gave up that he’s a replicant!” After consideration, I arrived at the same hope that you express.

I’m curious about the score; they can’t just re-use Vangelis’, but anything else would be wrong.

Well, I won’t ignore it, but I would certainly be… displeased.

Good reasoning - a Deckard-is-a-replicant reveal would anger me if I paid to see the film, so I shan’t without some assurances, even if it spoils other elements.

I could tolerate _this_ as a plot twist, though my feelings toward the movie would be indifference rather than annoyance.

If you’ll be using the book as a metric to judge the legitimacy of this film then you must hate the original as it bears only a passing resemblance to the book, at best.

I don’t care about the book. I want the question of Deckard-as-replicant to remain unresolved because it makes for a better movie if it’s unresolved.

But Deckard as a replicant is just stupid. It makes no sense. Why design a replicant whose job it is to track down other replicants, but is far weaker than them?

Harrison Ford is on the side of “Deckard is not a replicant,” and he can pick and choose his movie roles. I’m hoping that his price for participating in this sequel is to have his wishes accommodated on the character.
I hope.

Imagine the movie _Ex Machina_ with the shocking twist being that the guy who was brought in to Turing-test the android… was himself an android!
I didn’t like the movie at all, but the sheer stupidity of such of a development would at least make me laugh a little.
