He’s been in talks for a while now but Ryan Gosling has confirmed that the next movie he’ll be shooting is Blade Runner 2.

While promoting his new movie, The Big Short, Gosling told Collider: "It's exciting," he said, before adding "there's a chip in me that will explode if I say anything else."

Gosling will star alongside Harrison Ford, who played police officer/potential replicant Rick Deckard in the original 1982 cult movie.

The latest instalment - reportedly based on an idea from Scott, who will also produce the new film - has been written by Hampton Fancher, who co-wrote the original screenplay. He will be joined fellow screenwriter Michael Green.

The film is scheduled to start shooting summer 2016 and will be helmed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) and Roger Deakins will act as cinematographer.

"We are honoured that Harrison is joining us on this journey," said producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson in a joint statement.

"Hampton and Michael, with Sir Ridley Scott, have crafted a uniquely potent and faithful sequel to one of the most universally celebrated films of all time, and we couldn't be more thrilled with this amazing, creative team."
