Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard wasn’t the only familiar face to make an appearance in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi sequel Blade Runner 2049, with the filmmakers enlisting the visual effects wizards at MPC to create a digital double of a 22-year-old Sean Young for a key scene where Jared Leto’s Wallace presents a clone of the replicant Rachael to Deckard.

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.

Blade Runner 2049 sees Harrison Ford reprising the role of Rick Deckard alongside Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista, Jared Leto and Edward James Olmos.
