Bladerunner 2049

I am so slow to find out any of this stuff!  I swear!

So apparently later this year we get the sequel to Blade Runner...

I ask the question, are we excited or is it a case of why bother?

  • I like the first, I've watched it plenty of times. I am not so keen on the idea a sequel. That said, I am sure it will be ok cinema.

    I am just glad they didn't sequel the crap out of it back then.

  • Hopefully its worth a watch.

  • I for one am very - but cautiously - excited.  

    Sequel is written by Hampton Fancher (who co-wrote the first one) with Scott 'producing' and by all accounts a legitimately qualified French-Canadian director Villeneuve attached.  

    Nothing will touch the original but this could at least be a worthy contribution to that universe (at least I hope!).

    The teaser trailer looks the part - and Deckard even has a dog (which must have been very, very expensive ;) )
  • And the teaser trailer:


  • Just last week I was talking with a guy at work who hadn't seen the original.

    So I gave him a copy to watch.  My discussions with him (and subsequently) other guys in the office who had seen it reminded me just how much I love the original (proper version not the feckin' voice over crap!).

    I guess considering Scott is at least involved has to be a good thing right???

    I think I will just avoid everything about it in terms of reviews etc and just go in cold. 

    Why can't they just leave well enough alone!

  • Trust in Denis Villeneuve - he is most capable of pulling this off - very talented
  • The trailers look pretty cool, bought the HF teaser 1S, and one site identifies it as a second-tier Oscar contender:

    As for the original, I was a major fanboy but now really dislike the grotesque violence in it, esp. the eye-popping scene restored in the latest directors cut.
  • They should have left it alone. Next thing you'll know they be doing a sequel for that Star Wars movie from 1977

    True but in 40 years I have seen so many clips, shorts, references to the film I pretty much know what it's about  - even I think Hans hot first.  =)=)
  • Umm ... what kind of sicko deviant should-be-shot-at-crack-of-dawn hasn't seen SW?

    I'm guessing Sepia Throw was not the name of the oddly coloured robot either?
  • Potenial quad poster:


  • Variant posters (30x40):

    As it happens, Entertainment Weekly Magazine, with 1.5 million subscribers, picked two pics for their BR2049 story:

    I occasionally check the official movie websites and BR2049"s had never-before-seen obscured "taglines" for both official teaser posters:

    http://bladerunnermovie.com/tagged/image

    *****



    "You know his past. Discover his future. #BladeRunner2049"

    *****



    "A new civilization begins now. #BladeRunner2049"

    *****

    So why not include the taglines on the MPs?
  • First tag line gets my vote.
  • I don't know what the scene means but shades of Heston and that statue?
  • There is an official video filling in the "gap" between the original and sequel:

    http://www.vanyaland.com/2017/08/29/he-went-to-jared-2036-nexus-dawn-fills-in-a-gap-between-blade-runner-films/

    I watched all but the last minute.

    It's disappointing the sequel will feature graphic violence so maybe I'll just skip it....
  • Gawd, I hope it's not a disappointment, I wasn't overly pleased they did a sequel, if it's crap I'll be pissed.

    Have you even watched the original one Mel?  Many instances of "graphic violence" back in 1982...
