Blade Runner 2049

"I did your job once. I was good at it."The Film Board gathers! This week on the show, we’re gearing up to hunt some rogue Nexus 8s and save all humanity with Denis Villeneuve's take on the Ridley Scott classic, Blade Runner 2049. How well does the new film respect the tone and style of the original? Does the film finally put to rest the mysteries of the first? Is Roger Deakins so good behind the camera?It’s no secret that we’re fans of Villeneuve’s work, but we come to Blade Runner 2049 with a none-too-subtle sense of anxiety. For Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, and Pete Wright, this film trods in the playground of our youths. Did it really need to be made? Probably not. But since it’s here, what has it done to further the lore of the Blade Runner? We shall see...Film SundriesOriginal theatrical trailerOriginal poster artworkBlade Runner by Ridley ScottFlickchartLetterboxd
