Because for now, the sequel to Blade Runner remains a real mystery, we will content ourselves with making you discover more about the original film!
More than thirty years after the release of Blade Runner in 1982, a series of adventures by Rick Deckard, the “hunter” of Replicant played by Harrison Ford, is on the way, with Ryan Gosling casting and Denis Villeneuve in production, And Ridley Scott Square. But if a first trailer and some photos were unveiled, it is clear that they do everything to hide the plot of the film and we do not know much about Blade Runner 2049 in the end . It is only if we know that Ryan Gosling will incarnate a certain officer K. Planned for October 4, 2017, one even comes to wonder if they will give us other clues before, or leave us in complete darkness Until the film’s release in theaters. In short, we are clearly frustrated. But we also decided not to let ourselves be defeated and if we can not learn more about Blade Runner 2049 , why not enrich his culture on the original film? This is what Melty’s editorial offers you by discovering 5 things that you probably do not know about Ridley Scott’s film!
1) Harrison Ford was not the first choice for Rick Deckard
At the very beginning of the project, Ridley Scott had planned the role of Rick Deckard for Dustin Hoffman . The actor even worked several months on the project, before leaving the ship following discrepancies on the character’s psychology and “a story of sub” . Eventually, Harrison Ford will inherit the role, and it is now difficult to imagine the replicant “hunter” as someone else.
2) Blade Runner almost had a completely different title
Before calling himself Blade Runner , the film went through several different names. At the very beginning, in particular, it was codenamed “Mechanismo and Dangerous Days” . Not really fun, you get it. Then Ridley Scott found the world of Batman sticking to the atmosphere of the movie, so he had a long time for the film to be called “Gotham City . ” Yes, you heard right. Unfortunately, Bob Kane, the creator of Batman, did not want to give him the rights and the director finally decided to opt for “Blade Runner” , in tribute to a novel by Alan E. Nourse.
3) The original atmosphere had nothing to do with that of the film at its release
Taken from a book by Philip K. Dick entitled “Androids Dream of Electric Sheep , ” the plot was originally scheduled to take place in 1992 in a Los Angeles plunged into a glacial age. But on a small budget, the film team could not carry the scenery to the north of the US and had to slightly change the atmosphere, from snowy landscapes to an underground, polluted, dirty and retro-futuristic Los Angeles.
4) The Star Wars Cameo that you surely missed
In the scene where Rick Deckard is carried aboard his Spinner at the Central Police, a familiar vessel is seen in the background. Normal, it is actually the Millennium Falcon , the Han Solo ship in the Star Wars saga ! An Easter Egg rather amusing when we know that Rick Deckard and Han Solo are both embodied by Harrison Ford. Perhaps it will be found in Blade Runner 2049, whose new photos were unveiled?
5) What does the first scene of the film mean?
It is on a close-up of a frozen eye in which the reflection of a flame crackles that opens Blade Runner. But what does that mean? Asked about the question, Ridley Scott explained that this eye was none other than an “Orwellian metaphor of Big Brother” , or how our society is moving towards a totalitarian state, controlled by an oligarchy of brands. A little fucked by the hair, is not it? So, did you know all that?

Denis Villeneuve also added “Of course, there will be CGIs, but we have tried to limit them. I am someone old enough, I wanted to do my aliens in animatronics .” Blade Runner 2049, of which Dave Bautista has teased a very cool role , thus risks to propose a very interesting visual universe. With Denis Villeneuve at the helm, the film can only be good. But then what will this long-awaited sequel tell ? On this side, the filmmaker is rather discreet but explains that “the first film had a polar side, very black, very melancholic, the themes evoked were those of the existential crisis .. Blade Runner 2049 is not far from these subjects , We tried to keep the same atmosphere … ”
The characters of Blade Runner 2049, which revealed 9 unpublished photos , are also likely to be numerous.

sivertime — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 18:23:38 +0000

In an interview for Variety, Denis Villeneuve detailed the creative process of his next film: Blade Runner 2049.
With Blade Runner 2049, whose role Dave Bautista has played a very cool role , Denis Villeneuve will have the heavy task of succeeding Ridley Scott and his cult film of 82. One of the highlights of the film was his visual identity that the filmmaker attempted To respect as he confided in an interview for Variety “For Blade Runner 2049, we did everything to turn inside, to build everything.” The director of photography Roger Deakins was incredible when he “I was able to count on the fingers of one hand the number of green bottoms used during these lesser shoots!”
The director then added “Of course, there will be CGIs, but we tried to limit them, I’m someone old enough, I wanted to make my aliens in animatronics, it was my dream with Premier Contact And my director of photography, in which we dreamed of putting enormous gigantic beasts in aquariums and moved by puppeteers, but unfortunately it was too expensive . This should reassure future audiences: in Blade Runner 2049, in which a character from the original film could be cast , Denis Villeneuve will put a maximum on special effects “by hand” with a minimum of green funds and digital additions. What do you think ?

Blade Runner 2049: What role for Harrison Ford (Rick Deckard)?

sivertime — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 18:27:53 +0000

As you know, Rick Deckard, incarnated by Harrison Ford, will make his big comeback in Blade Runner 2049. But what could be his role in the film?
Fans of futuristic universes or travels in space will be served! Since 2017, with the coming to movie Blade Runner 2049, Alien: Covenant or Star Wars: The Last Jedi, clearly puts science fiction honored . Not to mention that these three films continue and enrich the history of extremely popular franchises and are now part of the cinema classics! But if Star Wars: The Last Jedi has much to be exciting, and if Alien: Covenant promises to give us some chills, Blade Runner in 2049 is still one of the feature films that intrigue us perhaps more. Already because he landed more than thirty years after the first Blade Runner . Then, because one really does not know much about his plot. Hardly can it be said that Officer K, incarnated by Ryan Gosling, will represent the main character of the film and will (apparently) be in pursuit of Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), the hero of the original Blade Runner. And seen the trailer of Blade Runner 2049, it seems that the last decades were not very lenient with Deckard. So, in melty, one wonders: what could ultimately be the role of Harrison Ford in Blade Runner in 2049 ?
The end of Blade Runner left us with a question to which we have yet never got a response: Deckard a Replicant is it? If for Ridley Scott, director of the film, it is obvious that the problem does not even arise and that, yes, his hero is indeed an android, this has never been proved. Or Denis Villeneuve, who heads the Blade Runner in 2049 , we did indeed assured he would explore the matter and that we offer – FINALLY – a satisfactory answer. As a result, it turns out that it will reveal to us that Deckard is indeed a Replicant, a Replicant of another kind and capable of functioning for decades. If that is the case, then we can imagine that the officer K, which is also a Blade Runner, is actually looking for Deckard to bring it to the authorities . Or to the ” disconnect ” since that is the mission of the Blade Runners.
But we can also formulate another hypothesis, a little more gratifying for the character of Harrison Ford. For who tells us that K is not looking for Deckard to ask him for advice? It could indeed that the same events that occurred in Blade Runner breed thirty years later. And in this case, the K officer could simply for the purposes of its investigation, attempt to contact Deckard to solve the problem . After all, the story of Blade Runner in 2049 does not tell us much about the famous secret that K discovers within its business. Anyway, if K is the main character of the film, then we can already make a reason for it: Deckard may well have only a secondary role. Maybe he will be a little Luke Skywalker of Star Wars: The Force Alarm , namely a figure somewhat mythical need to find. Unless of course he takes the role of Han Solo in the same film and serves as a mentor to Officer K. However, this one looks already well trained so we do not see what Rick Deckard could teach him. Anyway, we hope that Blade Runner 2049, which will retain the same tone as the original movie , beautiful way mark the return of Deckard! In your opinion, what will be the role of Harrison Ford?

Blade Runner 2049: Another character from the original movie to the cast?

sivertime — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 18:01:56 +0000

Surprise, Blade Runner 2049 could host another former character from the original movie. And it would not be about anyone since the rumors speak of a replicant!
That says ” result ” we mean a ” return of certain characters .” And of course, Blade Runner in 2049 may well lie thirty years after the events of the first film, it does not escape the rule! Obviously we shall find Harrison Ford in the role of Deckard, as we saw in the first teaser of the film, which resurfaced after disappearing for decades. What we ask what he has been making since it was left at the end of Blade Runner . But it will apparently not be the only character of the original film to make its big comeback! And, as you might suspect, it’s not any protagonist who could come back at the same time as Rick Deckard, the former Blade Runner. According to the website Terminator fan, the source would be close to production, it is one of the four replicants – or androids, if you prefer – the original film, which could point to the new end of his nose . Experimental models landed illegally in Los Angeles, they were pursued throughout the film with Deckard to be ” off “. But then, if the rumor is verified, which of these replicants would be concerned?
In this regard, we have no choice but to make assumptions. It is somewhat difficult to believe that it could be Roy Batty or Pris, respectively interpreted at the time by Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah. And there’s a good reason for this: they both die at the end of the first Blade Runner after being pursued by Deckard. The same goes for Zhora (Joanna Cassidy), who suffers the same fate as her two companions. That leaves Rachel finally, once played by Sean Young , the famous experimental replicant who thinks human and which disappears at the end of the film Deckard company. But could the android really have gone through these last thirty years and still be functional? Unless of course Blade Runner in 2049 reaches to resurrect one of three other replicants – which is always possible. According to Terminator Fan, this character would be realized in CGI anyway, as was the case for Tarkin in Star Wars: Rogue One recently, in order to preserve his old face and to appear always as young. As for his role, it seems to be substantial and it is not doing enough than a cameo . Anyway, this rumor has something to intrigue us! Blade Runner 2049, including 9 unpublished photographs were recently unveiled , we seem in any case more and more exciting. What do you expect from the film?
