Don't care if Gosling is in this. I just want Vangelis + Perturbator to compose the music. I'LL BE SO IN if that happens! Fuck!

That's not true. No one can finish Only God Forgives.

Not sure in how many movies have you guys seen him, but he sure as hell has a much more wider acting range than what Harrison Ford showed through his entire career, that's for sure.

I love how you think.
I really enjoyed Drive, and am looking forward to seeing what Gosling can do in Blade Runner 2. It's just fun to imagine if BR and Drive were merged - some sort of Drive Runner. Like, if the Driver was running around in flying cars in LA in the future.

Edit: GAF doesn't like discussing Lars and the Real Girl because it hits too close to home

Great decision.

I can never tell if people are joking or not when they say he is a bad actor.

No one who's seen Half Nelson or The Believer could say Gos is a bad actor. I think it's more of a running gag on GAF at this point.

I think it was the critic Michael Phillips who said Gosling has a better agent than Gosling is an actor.

He's a damn better actor than director.
Lost River is something else. Only God Forgives was a fraction of pretentiousness of that film.

Wait, what? Blade Runner 2?
I don't know if I should be excited. There's nothing else I really want to see from that universe, it's such a perfectly tightly told story. (def not talking about the theatrical cut).
And how is he opposite Harrison Ford if Ford was supposed to be a replicant? (not that I care if that's not cannon, I always ignored that because it's stupid).

Don't understand the mockery . Dude's a great actor.
Yeah he had a few roles which made him look serene , impavid , sometimes monosyllabic..so what ? He did what he was asked to do.

Why does the music starting at 1:15:

Sound like Final Fantasy music?
What the hell is this shit? Hilariously awful scene.
But yeah I think he'd fit right in the Blade Runner universe. I'm just really glad Scott isn't directing the sequel. There's hope still.
Sorry for bumping this, but an interview with Denis Villeneuve (the director) just aired in French, and they talked a little bit about Blade Runner 2.
- He said the Blade Runner is probably his favorite movie of all time.
- He basically knows it by heart.
- When he first learned a sequel was brewing, his first reaction was something like "What? NO. You can't do that. That's a bad idea". In other words, like many fans, he was highly skeptical.
- Eventually, he read the script and clearly it was good enough in his eyes to say yes to the project.
- He met with Harrison Ford for a couple of hours, which was apparently a requirement.
- At one point, Ridley Scott was gonna be the director, but he had too many projects on his plate and he had to make a choice.

shots fired
After finding out who the Director is I have to say my confidence has been boosted. Gosling is a great cast to fill that Deckard archetype that has become synonymous with Blade Runner.

What channel/TV program did you see that interview on? I'd like to check it out.
Neon + Gosling go together perfectly so it would suit Blade Runner.
Yeah but, what if add rain to that?

Since China is already looking pretty Blade Runner like with the constant smog, they could save money on the production costs and get that lucrative China money! Win-win!

I love it. I just want rain and neon, and my man eating at a noodle stand. Those images are burned into my brain as such cool images.
