Officer K (Ryan Gosling, in top form) is a replicant, one of the very beings that were hunted down and “retired” by Officer Rick Deckard in the 1982 movie. Michael Green, a former HBO junior development fellow, and scribe of Logan and American Gods penned the phenomenal journey of LAPD Officer KD6-3.7. Very mild spoilers are sporadically dispersed in this analysis.Ĭoinciding with the 35-year gap between the release of the 19 Blade Runner films, 2049 is set 35 years after the conclusion of the original movie.
