Same feel for city visuals and music score as original - but an expanded world!

This could be a worthy sequel to my favorite movie of all time!

He seems to have captured the look and feel of the original.

Big fan of the first Blade Runner but I just cat see a movie set in an all white future. Maybe someone with better eyes can correct me but I didn't see one POC.

I know the city of 'Bladerunner' was minority-white with prominent East Asian/Latino population and influence.

I know Ridley Scott productions have been inclusive and diverse.

However - you do make a valid point. The trailer does look awful white!

Latino and Asians...even those who were making human "parts' for the corporation were some Chinese people. This new version looks a little scarce of that population...


(in this case, she was Japanese.)

Wait, that was The Force Awakens. Besides, Deckard hooked up with a replicant, and may be a replicant himself, so how's he gonna have a son? R2D2 ends up stabbing him maybe.
