Blade Runner 2049
Denis Villeneuve state he was ab initio frightened by the prognosis of makingBlade Runner : 2049 . The long - expect subsequence to Ridley Scott ’s originative sci - fi film , Blade Runner(loosely adapt from Philip K. Dick ’s novel , Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ? ) , occur 35 year after the original motion-picture show hit field of operations and changed the scope of the writing style evermore . Although Scott give to the conductor ’s chair for theAlienprequel series , he opted to have another filmmaker take over those duty for theBlade Runnersequel .
Villeneuve was an urge option for the job , considering that he had n’t done any major sci - fi projects at the time , but his filmography - consist of critically - acclaim films such asPrisonersandSicario , as well asArrival , which released after he already joinedBlade Runner : 2049- proved that he was ready for the task . Still , that does n’t mean he was n’t at least hesitating and worried about taking on such a bluff undertaking , specially regard how gamy the expectations are for the upcoming continuation .
Den of Geekhas spoken to Villeneuve in front ofBlade Runner : 2049 ’s release this weekend , and the filmmaker unwrap that he was " panic-stricken " at first about the idea of organise theBlade Runnersequel , but once he read the script - written by the original plastic film ’s screenwriters Hampton Fancher and Michael Green - and understood that it was n’t a rehash of the original , then his initial fears were alleviated .
“ At the start , I was panicked to the core . Before I take the screenplay , my first reaction was I thought this was very exciting that Ridley Scott wanted to do it , but at the same time , I was think , ‘ Is it the most fantastic tough idea of all fourth dimension ? ’ There ’s a trend to revisit all those classics . I was n’t sure until I record the screenplay . When I read the screenplay I understand what the melodic theme was behind it and insure the potential to make a great motion-picture show . ”
It ’s no mystery that Hollywood has been consumedwith remaking and rebooting classic film , as well as finally get around to bring on long - wait sequel . However , just because certain films were critically and commercially successful the first sentence around , that does n’t intend they would be again , specially if the only goal is to simply reprize what came before . Thankfully , that ’s not what ’s happening with theBlade Runnerseries .
“ There was very strong theme in the screenplay . I say , ‘ Okay , I get it . ’ It ’s not a regurgitation , it ’s not recycle something . It ’s really come on it from a different slant with the same form of poetry . That ’s why I felt compelled [ to do it ] . It took me a while before I allege yes because it ’s such a huge responsibility . But at the same time , it made sentience , from an artistic dot of view , to take that risk of exposure . I had done some movies that were give me the exclusive right to maybe be part of this labor , and I was ready to risk everything because artistically it made horse sense . ”
Although much of the photographic film ’s burden was placed on Villeneuve ’s shoulders , he was n’t the only one who was ab initio fearful about making aBlade Runnersequel . Ryan Gosling , who plays LAPD Officer K in the film , was also skeptical about the project , that is until he read the script . consider thatBlade Runner : 2049has been certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and is projected to havean exceptional worldwide curtain raising , it sounds like Villeneuve and the residuum of the cast and gang were able to overcome their fears and create a worthyBlade Runnersequel .
