Blade Runner 2049: New footage wows CinemaCon attendees

The focus of Sony Pictures’ CinemaCon panel was assumed to be its new sneak peek at Spider-Man: Homecoming, but a surprise was waiting in store.

Playlist reports that Sony Chairman Tom Rothman brought onto stage none other than Ryan Gosling, to debut brand new footage from this year’s highly-anticipated sci-fi sequel, Blade Runner 2049.

Surprising, especially, considering the film’s US and Canadian distributor is actually Warner Bros., with Sony Pictures acting as a distributor overseas. However, with Sony having financed half its production, it seems clear the studio is wanting to edge in on the ownership of what could, potentially, be one of the year’s major hits.
