'Blade Runner 2049' Writers on the Ending, If Deckard Is a Replicant, More

Note: This video contains spoilers about Blade Runner 2049

With Blade Runner 2049 now in theaters everywhere, I recently got the chance to talk with screenwriters Michael Green and Hampton Fancher about the making of the sequel. During the conversation - which contains spoilers – they discussed the genesis of the project, how it was originally pitched as a prequel, what would have happened if Harrison Ford said no, their thoughts on whether Deckard is a replicant, the evolution of the script, their thoughts on the nature of K (Ryan Gosling) and if he’s a one-off or one of many, the ending of the film, and a lot more. If you’re curious about the making of one of the best films of the year, I promise you’ll enjoy hearing what they had to say.

As most of you know, the highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi classic takes place 30 years after the events of the first film and stars Ryan Gosling as a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, who unearths a secret that leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, with Harrison Ford reprising the iconic role. Blade Runner scribe Hampton Fancher and Michael Green (Logan) penned the screenplay. The film also stars Jared Leto, Barkhad Abdi, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, and Mackenzie Davis.
