If there is one thing that the original Blade Runner did spectacularly, then it’s building a complete world that its characters inhabited and explored the surface of. In a new featurette, we get a glimpse on how that translates to BLADE RUNNER 2049.
In the short film, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Jared Leto, and Ridley Scott discuss the importance of that aesthetic to the modern popular culture, and how the original film sent a shock wave through the industry. While it doesn’t necessarily show us a massive amount of that world in the sequel, we do get a handful of scenes we haven’t seen before. There is actually a nudity warning on this one too.
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Office K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
BLADE RUNNER 2049 opens in Australian cinemas on 5 October 2017 from Sony Pictures Releasing.
