Plot details are being kept very secret, but we do know that director Denis Villeneuve (Enemy, Sicario) wants to have the film set several decades after the first film, while still being located in a dark and dreary future Los Angeles.

Villeneuve has been nervous about the pre-production of the film, but according to EW those nerves were calmed by Blade Runner's original screenwriter Hampton Francher:

He told me that Blade Runner was a dream. We just have to dream again and not worry too much about logic. That removed so much pressure and gave me the key to move forward.

An official synopsis has yet to be released.

Story details are not being revealed.
