Elvis in Blade Runner 2049: One of the best films of last year was 'Blade Runner 2049' by director Denis Villeneuve. It was the sequel to the 1982 'Blade Runner' and stared Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

Set thirty years after the first film, Ryan Gosling plays K, a blade runner. And, Yes, in 2049 ELVIS is still relevant! His great musical legacy continues and his holographic image is still playing in Las Vegas. In a delightful touch ELVIS is still playing in Las Vegas but now as a hologram.

EPE's Joel Weinshanker at the time noted, 'A genuine Elvis Hologram is a big 'if'. My position is that you can never create what Elvis had, which is something you can't put a finger on or describe.' In a time when holographic entertainment seems like it's readily available and consumed, it makes sense that legends would be brought back from the dead for a constant hurrah. It'd be odd if Elvis Presley is the only famous figure that the future still holds onto, but for the King of Rock and Roll, it wouldn't be that surprising.

In the derelict Las Vegas of 2049 a malfunctioning hologram of Elvis Presley keeps flashing in and outplaying 'Suspicious Minds', the lyrics of which touch on the film's theme.

After Elvis sings 'Can't Help Falling In Love' Harrison Ford comments, 'Listen to this, this was my favourite Elvis song' Was this because, as a replicant, he couldn't feel love?
