Ryan Gosling's high-collared coat is all anyone took away from the new 'Blade Runner' posters

What are you hiding?

Today we were treated to new Blade Runner 2049 posters, each featuring one of the movie's main stars: Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

While both posters have the actors moodily looking off at something to their left, Gosling's stark grey-toned poster ended up getting more attention on Twitter because many thought that it had a little touch of something familiar to it.

Maybe a bit of...blue steel?

Yep, we definitely see the blue steel now. Heck, Gosling looks so blue steel that this might as well be an ad for his debut fragrance. And it probably smells like replicants' tears.

Others took one look at Gosling's high-collared coat and thought of another famous high-collared trench.

And still others found the coat to be pure ridiculousness.

To be honest, a poster with Gosling's face completely covered by his coat's collar is very compelling. It brings to mind so many questions: Is the coat sentient? Has this man always lived his life that way? What does he have to hide?

We would definitely pay to see that movie.
