Here's the Scoop...
Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford face off in the first teaser trailer for upcoming sci-fi sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
The clip, released Monday, features Gosling as a new replicant hunting blade runner looking for answers as he seeks out a reclusive Ford.
"I had your job once. I was good at it," Ford says as he is seen emerging from the shadows with his gun drawn.
"Things were simpler then, Gosling replies before footage is shown of the actor exploring the same neon soaked streets of Los Angeles as seen in the original film.
"Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (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 (Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years," reads the synopsis.
Produced by original helmer Ridley Scott and directed by Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 is set to arrive in theaters Oct. 6, 2017. The film also stars Ana de Armas, Robin Wright, and Jared Leto.
I can't wait! It looks amazing! Is it October yet?
Be Well,

Report: Margot Robbie marries Tom Ackerley in Australia
Margot Robbie reportedly tied the knot with Tom Ackerley over the weekend.
The 26-year-old Australian actress wed Ackerley, a British assistant director, in a secret wedding ceremony Sunday in Byron Bay, Australia, according to Australia's The Daily Telegraph.
Britain's Telegraph reports that Robbie's mom, Sarie Kessler, gave her away at the altar, and that her sister, Anya Robbie, acted as maid of honor. Her brothers, Cameron and Lachlan Robbie, were also said to be in attendance.
Robbie had arrived in Australia last week wearing a t-shirt that read "Say 'I Do' Down Under," according to People. She later shared a photo on Instagram of herself with a cocktail in Queensland.
Robbie and Ackerley met on the set of Suite Francaise in 2013, and reportedly got engaged over the summer. The actress described Ackerley as "the best-looking guy in London" in the June issue of Vogue.
"I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me," she told the magazine.
"We were friends for so long," the star revealed. "I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stuipid and tell him that you like him.' And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"
Robbie is known for playing Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, and will reprise the role in Gotham City Sirens. She is also slated to portray disgraced Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in the new biopic I, Tonya.
LOOSE LIPS:
"I gave [Daniel Radcliffe] a love note and a Beanie Baby for Valentine's Day. I didn't personally give it to him because I was just an extra, but I gave it to his assistant or PA that was working with him. I don't know if he ever got it, but Daniel: I just want to know if you got it! Come on! I just wanna know if you got it!"
--Julianne Hough, reminiscing about the time she worked as an extra on the set of Harry Potter, to PEOPLE

Writers Guild of America East to honor John Waters
The Writers Guild of America East says it plans to present its Ian McLellan Hunter Award to filmmaker John Waters.
The creator of cult classics like Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Cry-Baby and Serial Mom will be honored at the 2017 Writers Guild Awards to be held at New York's Edison Ballroom on Feb. 19. Lewis Black is hosting the ceremony.
"Decades ago, a critic once wrote that my screenplays 'were merely clotheslines to hang out my dirty wash.' I'm glad the WGAE disagrees -- or maybe they DO agree, who knows? Either way, I couldn't be more honored and excited to get this award," Waters said in a statement.
"The metropolis of Baltimore, Md., contains multitudes: The stolid rowhouse folk of Mencken's Heathen Days; the post-yiddishe wit of Barry Levinson's assimilating Diner guys; Anne Tyler's hermetic yet idiosyncratic Roland Park; Laura Lippman's crime narratives of Bawlmer women and their carried secrets; The Wire's inverse economies of the city's poorest and most vulnerable. Good, bad and all points in between. But only John Waters has made being not right, not normal, not ordinary, nor expected seem so, well, Baltimore," added David Simon, Waters' fellow Baltimore native and the writer-producer who will personally present Waters with the award. "Time and again, on film and in prose and eventually on Broadway, he has celebrated the very American notion that there is, in fact, no normal. That we are all, if we are honest, at least two standard deviations from the mean. In Baltimore, it is our [expletive] birthright. I've shared my crew with this man. I've shared some cast, at points. I've shared some meals and jokes and the very real benefit of his having been a pioneer for a film community that has punched well beyond its weight class. But most of all, like damn near every Baltimorean, I am proud that I share a city with this fine storyteller."
Previous recipients of the Hunter Award include Andrew Bergman, John Sayles, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Richard LaGravenese, John Patrick Shanley, Claire Labine and Nora Ephron.

Which musical diva shaded Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande, claims she doesn't know them?
Mariah Carey says she doesn't know who Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande are.
The comments came while the diva appeared on Watch What Happens Live Sunday after host Andy Cohen asked Carey about comments Lovato made on Twitter in June.
"Demi Lovato, I didn't know this, she kind of shaded you on social media," Cohen explained to Carey. "She made assumptions about Ariana Grande, and she said, 'Mariah's a legend and she's so talented but she disses people. It's nasty the way she treats Jennifer [Lopez].' What would you say to Demi?"
"I don't know her either and so I wouldn't say anything to her," the singer replied, a callback to comments she famously made about not knowing Lopez which caused Lovato to speak out on social media.
"She should come up, introduce herself to me, say, 'Here's my opinion, what do you think about it?' That's how you handle [expletive], okay?" Carey continued.
The 46-year-old was then asked if she knew Grande and delivered a similar response. "No," she said. "I don't know... Honestly, I'm not familiar. I listen to hip-hop more than I listen to pop music."
Notably, the interview also featured Carey dodging questions regarding her recent breakup from James Packer and rumored romance with backup dancer Bryan Tanaka.
