Blade Runner practically defined the vision of a cyberpunk future, so fans have been understandably anxious to see if the long-awaited sequel, Blade Runner 2049, will live up to its legacy. If yesterday's trailer and seven new pics published by Entertainment Weekly today are anything to go by though, I think we can all stop holding our breath. For now.
