Just yesterday, it was announced that the Blade Runner sequel would start shooting in July and now comes the news that the international rights to the film have been acquired by Sony.

Deadline reports that the studio will handle distribution outside North America with a Warner Bros release in the US and Canada through its output agreement with Alcon Entertainment.

The story takes place several decades after the conclusion of Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. Ryan Gosling stars alongside Harrison Ford reprising his role as Rick Deckard. No release date has been announced yet but we should expect to see this hit our screens around late 2017-early 2018.
