The director ofBlade Runner 2049just revealed that the theatrical release is his final variation . Denis Villeneuve ( Arrival ) helm the long - await sequel to Ridley Scott ’s 1982 classic , which take billet 30 eld after the events of the first film . Scott ’s original take years to see on with audiences , polarizing critics and tanking at the box office . It also had to hold out several different versions due to meddling from various studio apartment execs . The first theatrical variation ofBlade Runnerincluded a pull well-chosen finish and voiceover narration from Harrison Ford , which were at long last remove in former acquittance .
Even the 1992"Director ’s Cut"of the originalBlade Runnerwasn’t Scott ’s last reading , as the director did n’t hold total originative control over the film until the " Final Cut " let go of in 2007 . But it appears that Villeneuve did n’t face the same sort of problem , as the film that you see in field will be the director ’s definitive sight .
" The matter is , the movie you ’re going to see is the director ’s cut . There will be no further … perhaps there ’ll be a ' studio translation ' [ laughs ] , maybe a manufacturer version , but not a director ’s version . That ’s my director ’s cut . So I do n’t call up there will be further versions . If there are alternate versions , they ’re not from me . "
Recent write up aboutBlade Runner 2049suggested that Villeneuve was able-bodied to exercise gross artistic exemption over the project . The sequel ismuch longer than its predecessorat 2 hours , 32 minutes , and itsR ratingindicates that the director did not need to apply much restraint with its content . Additionally , hedid not rely on green screen to make the film ’s human beings , or else using tangible set and minimizing CGI in favor of practical effect . Actress Ana de Armas enunciate the approach was a vast benefit for the cast , who had"nothing to imagine"while performing .
Although Villeneuve is tackling hisfirst big - budget productionwith theBlade Runnerfollow - up , the fact that he was capable to deliver his functionary cut of the film in the initial button usher that manufacturer may have learned from the mistakes made with the original . The conductor is coming from quite the hot streak with late kit and caboodle likeArrival , Sicario , andPrisonersproving he can be trusted to produce visually stunning , thematically compelling films on his own . He may beunder a wad of pressureto subsist up to the original ’s legacy , but as far as modern directors go , there were few better choices to put behind the camera .
Of naturally , just because the theatrical release ofBlade Runner 2049is technically the"Director ’s Cut " , that does n’t mean Warner Bros. wo n’t attempt to find ways to release other versions . An extended edition with deleted or alternate scene may be possible , even though it could stretch the film over three hours and would n’t necessarily receive Villeneuve ’s endorsement . Ridley Scott famously re - tailor Alien so twentieth Century Fox could re - release it , even though he prefers the theatrical release . For now , though , the idea that the film director did not face any creative resistance has to be select as a promising sign for the impendent liberation .
