MONTREAL -- Quebec director Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated "Blade Runner" sequel will open the Montreal Festival du nouveau cinema.

It will screen at the Theatre Maisonneuve de la Place des Arts as the opening film of the festival's 46th edition, which runs from Oct. 4 to 15.

Villeneuve directed "Blade Runner" with a script from Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.
