It makes me so happy that they chose someone who is a major Blade Runner fan to take care of the sequel. I think almost all original fans flipped when the sequel was announced, but we can relax because it really is in good hands.

I love how Denis speaks with such passion. I agree, there are some things you experience and feel like you've never seen anything like it. For me, it happened while listening to Radiohead for the first time or when seeing my first Hayao Miyazaki film. Glad it inspired him and he went on to direct great movies like Sicario et al.

@fabiengerard8142 3 жыл бұрын

I felt exactly the same things at the time : in some way, the world we were then living in wanted to become that « L.A. 2019 » reality shown in the film. Such a pity we can’t access anymore to the original « voice over » version a whole generation of spectators definitely prefers. I do respect Ridley Scott’s point of view, but both versions should be equally available nowadays.

2049 was a far better script than the original. Harrison Ford confirmed it’s the best script he ever read. But Ridley’s photography and set design were one of a kind and amaze me to this day. To think he filmed those city streets on a back lot in Hollywood where hundreds of movies and TV shows were filmed including sitcoms is just amazing. His eye and taste for photography is stunning.

I hope they don't destroy all the mystique of Bladerunner, like they did with ALIEN. In the old days writers and directors were almost forced to rely on mystique and mystery. They had to rely on the audience's imagination to fill in the gaps. There were several reasons, the main one being budget and film effects/technology. But it was great! I loved how movies used to be written and directed. Now, movies destroy all mystery and mystique and explain EVERYTHING. I don't like it. As a warning to ALIEN fans, don't watch Convenant or Prometheus unless you want the 'Alien mystique' destroyed. It is a shame what they did to that franchise. They basically destroyed it.

If Denis' previous movies are any indication, I wouldn't worry. He always ends his movies with more questions.
