"It's a continuation of the story, so if you're a fan of the original film, it takes the original story and sort of follows that through," Gosling said of the sequel while speaking with Entertainment Weekly. "It's the same iconic universe, but it's changed over the course of the 30-year gap. It's a lot more bleak in some ways. The director describes it as toxic. But it's still the Blade Runner universe."
