Blade Runner 2: the Budapest Proposition

It’s not new news that Blade Runner II has been shooting in Budapest at Origo Studios for the better part of 2016, making use of the amazing sound stages and crews Hungary has to offer. Not much is known of the plot of the long awaited sequel, except what the director Denis Villeneuve told Entertainment Weekly when she briefly discussed the film, revealing that the story is set a few decades after the original, and that it will take place in Los Angeles again. "The climate has gone berserk — the ocean, the rain, the snow is all toxic," she said in the interview.

The shoot has been kept under the tightest secrecy, with no scripts being leaked or pictures from the set posted on social media. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t visit the Blade Runner II set. It was announced in late September that a raffle is being held to benefit a number of worthy causes, the prize including a visit to Budapest and tour of the set with tour guide/ occasional movie star Ryan Gossling. Here is the actor himself pitching the charitable contest, which will benefit Enough Project, Imerman Angels, and the Hummingbirds Foundation in their missions.

Meanwhile Harrison Ford, making the most of Budapest in the autumn, has been spotted around town, from picking up a bike to grabbing a bowl of famous Hungarian Fisherman’s soup and sampling Hungarian red wine (apparently the Villanyi producer Gere was choice of the night).

Ridley Scott, director of the first Blade Runner is producing the sequel. In addition to Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto, Robin Wright, and Mackenzie Davis star in the project, based on the writing of Philip K. Dick. It is set for an October 2017 release.
