Ryan Gosling confirms 'Blade Runner 2'

Los Angeles: Actor Ryan Gosling has confirmed that he is starring in the highly-anticipated "Blade Runner 2", a sequel to Harrison Ford's hit thriller from 1982.

"Yes, that's true!" he said.

Gosling added the opportunity to work with director Denis Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins is what truly convinced him to partake in the film, reported E!Online.

"It's exciting! All of those things. And if I say anymore there's a chip in me that will explode if I say anything else," he said.

When asked about his favourite part in working on the film, he couldn't help but gush about director Shane Black and co-star Russell Crowe.

"I don't know what to say. It's Shane Black. He's a world unto himself and his world is so fun and crazy. I had such a great time.

"Russell Crowe is so funny in the movie, and I can't wait for people to see that. It's a side of himself that he doesn't show very often, and it's hysterical."
