Harrison Ford Loves the Blade Runner 2 Script

Here's a scene-by-scene of the trailer. Lot of stuff I didn't catch in watching it the first time.

Okay, a guy took the audio from the new Blade Runner trailer and overlaid it on the video for the new Google Home ad. Honestly, it kinda works, very creepily. Has a very "Google is Skynet" kind of feel to it.

That's pretty great.

It shows how powerful the interpretive capabilities of our minds are. When the sounds and images match, we form the obvious connection. When they don't, we find meaning in the irony.

Not sure what this phenomenon is called when it's the juxtaposition of sound and images, but when it's done with a sequence of images, it's called the Kuleshov Effect:


Here's a short demonstration:


It's the juxtaposition of two images that imparts meaning to the viewer. We interpret the actor's emotional state from the sequence, not from what the actor is actually projecting (obviously, since it's the same actor footage in all 3 sequences).

So, the Pris bot just tweeted this out.

New footage, including some behind-the-scenes stuff has been released. Can't embed the video as it's not YouTube, but it's worth clicking the link to take a look. There are a number of shots which are clear nods to scenes in the original movie. In a couple of the interview shots, though, Ford looks rough, I mean rough. I have to wonder if it's not caused by his plane crash.

Partying with Carrie Fisher more likely. Back in the day.

just watched the vid at your link. This is gonna be good.

Found a YouTube link of the clip.



Scott thinking of franchising the Blade Runner universe.

Gosling describes the in universe of this film as more brutal than the original. http://screenrant.com/blade-runner2049-images-gosling-ford-brutal/

Here's a breakdown of the new trailer:

This at least looks like it's going to be very good. Pretty sure I'm more excited for this than The Last Jedi.

Who would have thought a decade ago though that we'd be getting a new Star Wars movie and a Bladerunner sequel in the same year. Amazing.

Unnecessary sequel.

And they're going to make Deckard a replicant.

Yeah I'm a bit conflicted by Deckerd being in it, but the continuation of this universe is really, really appealing.

The director says he's not, Ridley says he is. We shall have to wait and see.

I think, though:

If Tyrell made replicants so that they could

then he was a real idiot.

Arrogant. He was arrogant.

The Comic-Con panel had a lebgthy fan Q&A session which answered a few questions people had about the film.

Hans Zimmer is helping with the score. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/30/...de-runner-2049-compose-score-denis-villeneuve

New, very intense trailer has just dropped.



I hope they don't fuck this up.

Okay, they've dropped a short "prequel" to the new film. (Apparently, there's going to be more of them.) It's a slow build, and seems kind of faux suspenseful, but the ending is a bit of an "Oh, shit!" moment.

Okay, the first minute of this is a new trailer, the rest are just previous trailers. This seems to imply that Deckard knows something about the process of making Replicants that Leto's character doesn't know. It also appears that Deckard's survival is seen as "problematic" by the police.

It like they really tried hard to make this one good. It may very well be Harrison Ford's last really good movie.

Hans Zimmer is now in charge of all the music, the original composer is out. https://pitchfork.com/news/johann-johannsson-no-longer-involved-with-blade-runner-2049-report/

Source claims Sean Young secretly filmed scenes for this movie with a smaller than usual number of crew on set. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...-scenes-blade-runner-sequel-article-1.3498476

Two more short films.





The anime features Edward James Olmos reprising his role as Gaff.

Reviewers are happy, even if they can't officially talk about the film, yet.

I do not regret watching this at the Cinerama.

Saw it last night.

Was skeptical, and considered it a totally unnecessary sequel.





And I was wrong.

Pretty damn good. Way better than it had any right to be. Although very definitely a sequel (characters, situations, even music are brought back), it kinda works as its own thing, too. If you've never seen the original Blade Runner, this movie will still probably work just fine for you.

Any spoilerish material spoiler-tagged below...

What I liked...
1. A bigger, more detailed, slightly more futuristic version of the world from the original. Captures the look and feel nicely.
2. Story. A good detective tale.
3. The central mystery. You KNOW it isn't going to be as simple as it first appears. Not absolutely certain, but I think there's a big fat clue early on if you can...

This only occurred to me after the revelation, however.
4. Joi. That girl is just all kinds of pretty/adorable. I want one.
5. Luv. At first I thought the actress was kinda bad, but I realized she was doing replicant emotional volatility, then I enjoyed the performance. She's kinda frightening in places.
6. Harrison Ford, doing himself some good acting.
7. Ryan Gosling. Walks the line nicely, never getting too emotional...until he gets emotional.
8.

9.

10. The amazing scene involving Joi, K, and the hooker. Absolutely spellbinding. A great visual effect that serves the story.

What I didn't...
1. The music is a little overbearing in places, though I can't rule out the problem being the theater I saw it in.
2. The climax, while a decent action sequence, doesn't hold up to the rest of the film.
3.

So, is Deckard a replicant?

Very worthwhile, both on its own, and as a sequel. Recommended. 7.5/10.

PDG is correct. At first I thought they were trying way too hard to pay homage to the original. Then the story took off in its own right.

8PM showing on a Saturday night and there were only about 10 people in the auditorium. See it on the big screen while you can.

No.
