This follow-up to the cult sci-fi film “Blade Runner” takes place 30 years after the original, following a young bounty hunter (Ryan Gosling) as he tracks down replicants and uncovers a vast conspiracy in the process. Appearing about halfway through the film is actor Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Rick Deckard. While the movie did open to a palpable sense of anticipation, it underperformed at the box office, meaning “Blade Runner 2079” probably won’t appear anytime soon.
