I thought this wasn't filming until summer. He doesn't have any projects for eight months?

I wasn't totally sold on Villenvue after Prisoners. It was very well-made, but it had some story problems in my eyes. But Sicario, that was a fucking powerhouse of a film. I can't wait for this.

Love it.
I have big expectations. Not because its a sequel to Blade Runner but cause Villeneuve is attached to it , which means that this will be a well made movie.
Just bring Vangelis back. The entire sound texture of that world belongs to the greek melodies.

According to IMDB, it's this guy.
Ah didn't see that Fancher got a screenplay credit as well

It's being made by the writer of those guys? Movie could legitimately be better than the original if that's the case.

Not sure if it's the same writer, but Denis Villeneuve is directing and Roger Deakins is doing the cinematography. So we can be certain the movie is going to look amazing

Great shout.
Awesome. I have high hopes for this because of who's involved.

This is a pretty perfect casting.

I really dislike his acting in most films, yeesh.
A film that should not be made with an actor who should not even be in it. Sounds like a great success.

He was electric in Lars and the Real Girl, just a fantastic performance.
Nope and nope.

His last movies (OGF, Gangster Squad) didn't do his image much good. People see him as this 'one trick pony' which he really is not. People loved him back in 2011, he was a favorite of many. As you mentioned Lars and the Real girl. But what about:
-The Believer
-Fracture
-Half Nelson
-Blue Valentine
-Crazy Stupid Love
-Ides of March
-All Good things (not a good movie, but he was really creepy)
He is an amazing actor, just that his last few movies did him not much good. The Big Short is getting really good reviews (he's called really funny) and he also has a movie with Russell Crowe coming out (directed by Shane Black) and some other movies as well. Clearly taking it into another direction to show how good he really is.

Yup. All good. Vangelis return too?

Oh man, I'm torn between my disgust of this project and my love for Ryan Gosling!
So confusing...

My primary objective is to live long enough to see this film.
Oh this was an older post. But yeah I've seen both. Thought both of them were pretty great. I would say it's done all the right things as far as the people behind the movie. I just don't feel it's a necessary sequel.
Whoa. Slow down. The writing in both Sicario and Prisoners is probably the weakest aspect. The visuals and tension in both of those movies is where they shine.

After seeing Sicario, I'm cautiously excited for this. Their were so many shots in that movie, especially of the landscape, that screamed Blade Runner.

Didn't realize he had so many movies.
Could I trouble someone for a recommend? As a big fan of Drive and a Place beyond the Pines, what would you recommend I start with? BTW, I've seen OGF, and I agree it's not very good.

Either way, your blu-ray of the original will stop working the day BR2 is released so you better play it as often as you can until then.
Sicario was a great movie. This should be exciting.

Sure, OGF is certainly not for everyone and while I loved Drive (in my all time top 10), OGF was def. not for me.
Depends on what genres you like really, or simply if you want to see different sides of him.
Crazy Stupid Love: Fun movie with a great cast. Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei and Steve Carell. Romcoms are generally really bad but I really enjoyed this one. One of the reasons being Gosling, he plays this very cool playboy and has great chemistry with Stone (and Carell as well). This is one of his movies the general audience likes. This and The Notebook I would recommend watching with your gf/date. Or just on your own if you don't mind.
Blue Valentine: Heart breaking, incredibly acted and put together drama about a couple. Derek Cianfrance (who also directed Place beyond the pines) beautifully paints this picture about a couple while they are falling in love and switches to them as an older couple where they basically hate each other. It is very relatable (if you've ever been in an actual relationship) and just overall great. Michelle Williams is also amazing in this movie.
Lars and the Real girl and Half Nelson: Maybe not for everyone, but these def. show how good he is. While he got an Oscar nom for Half Nelson, I think his performance in Lars and the Real girl is impeccable. His mannerisms, the way he speaks, looks etc. He was that character and made the movie work.
Fracture: Underrated movie imo, I really enjoyed it and Anthony Hopkins is also great in this.
The Believer: He was young in this one, but really great. Playing a young Jewish man who develops this anti-Semitic philosophy.
he was hilarious with carell in crazy stupid love
lars and the real girl & half nelson are also both pretty good
