I was surprised by how much Harrison Ford there is in the trailer, since it's been said that Deckard is only appearing in the film's third act. If true, then we've seen a perhaps surprising amount of the film's climax in the trailer.
Maybe. But you could easily cut a trailer for the first film in the style of this trailer and have the same amount of action present.
I think this is likely. Which will work well for this film, not so great for the first.
Sure, I understand. But I also think a lot of the nostalgia driven audiences are expecting something along the same tone of the first film. Hard to appeal to both.
With BR it's practically one-hundred percent nostalgia driven audiences, the film influenced the sub-genre in which it's sequel will be to such a large extent. Every cyberpunk fil is already compared to BR, so it's own sequel has to fill those shoes .
Hopefully, like the original, BR2 is its "own thing," with plenty of good thrills and action combined with some incredible, thought-provoking stuff. Given the history of the creative team behind the film...I am banking on it!
Looks great. I'm kinda looking forward to this, now. Hoping for the best.
That trailer seems to suggest to me that Ford will be more 1st act and inciting moment. If, as you say, Deckard only appearing in 3rd act, I'd be concerned too.
It's what Ridley Scott has said:
That, of course, was two years ago and Hampton Fancher's story was still in development. It's possible that the story was rejiggered to bring Deckard in earlier.
Appreciating Villeneuve's cinema smartness, I hope really he brings Ford's Deckard in earlier...
That would contradict the voice-over ending.
No, seriously, I'm thinking that Rachael's time just ran out.

I prefer the voice over ending, as it's really the only one that makes narrative sense.
In what way do the other cuts make less narrative sense than the theatrical?
