“Sicario” director Denis Villeneuve is taking over for Scott in the sequel to his 1982 science-fiction classic. It will star Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Rick Deckard.
Alcon, which is producing the film, said it takes place several decades after the conclusion to the original “Blade Runner.”
