The hand of the director nominated to the Oscar Denis Villeneuve)The arrival) opens next Friday around the world Blade Runner 2049, Alcon Entertainment, the anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed film.
30 years after the events that take place in the first film, a new blade runner, Agent K in the Police Department of Los Angeles (LAPD), uncover an ancient secret that has the potential to add what remains of society into chaos. The discovery of K leads to the mission to find Rick Deckard, a former blade runner of the LAPD that has been missing for three decades.

"What defines a human being?" That is the question the director Denis Villeneuve. And the surprising answers that arise in her new movie, Blade Runner 2049They challenge the idea that we have about who we are and where we are going. 35 years ago, the innovative and futuristic success of Blade Runner came to the big screen. Directed by the legendary Ridley Scott and based on the novel by Philip K. Dick Do dream electric sheep androids?the film propelled the audience to a dystopia as they had never before experienced.
At that time, no one could have imagined as Blade Runner It would resonate in modern culture, being a pioneer in what would be a new genre entirely: the cyberpunk neo-noir. Today, Scotts visionary masterpiece is considered one of the best and most important films in history, although its influence not only stays in the cinema, but also in the world of television, music, art, fashion and even courses University s.
Now, after more than three decades, Blade Runner 2049 It returns us to the universe that has captivated generations of fans with a highly anticipated sequel and a unique film experience.
Villeneuve, who is considered one of the devotees of the original film, recalls "see Blade Runner for the first time and left me shocked that I think is one of the most powerful first scenes of the film: flying over Los Angeles of 2019, and seeing a landscape of factories" oil. Ridley Scott created an image so strong how would be the future that seduced and was afraid at the same time".
"The aesthetics of Blade Runner was revolutionary," he continues. "Blends two genres that at first glance are very different: science fiction and film noir." It is something not seen before, and influenced me deeply. It was part of my education as filmmaker long before even that knew that I would become director."
Scott admits that, even with all the difficulties, I would have never predicted the iconic that end up turning one of their first feature films. "Dont you think in that kind of thing when youre in the middle of the project" he adds, "but it was clear that wed done something really special."
However, since then is it has become clear that Scott film predicted a number of social concerns which have been on the rise. Seems more relevant than ever, with the planet to reach the moment when Blade Runner was set, which concerned the issue of urban deterioration, climate change, genetic engineering, overpopulation, the social division, economic strata and others.
Harrison Ford ended up becoming the main character of the film, Rick Deckard, one of the most indelible of their representations on the screen. "It was certainly prophetic in many ways. I believe that as technology evolved, and people began to see aspects of the film reflected in real life, there was increasingly more reasons to accept the issues spoken of Blade Runner".
Ryan Gosling, who plays the role of a detective in the LAPD called K in Blade Runner 2049It says that "the original film is unforgettable. It makes you question the idea that you have about what it means to be human. It makes you question your ability to discern the hero from the villain. It is a horrifying vision of the future that somehow seems grounded and possible, and still appears in a romantic way and dream you recorded in memory. Time has demonstrated how special that is."
Producer Andrew A. Kosov is agreed. "Blade Runner was one ahead of its time in many ways. This narrative that leads to reflection and that distinctive visual design that Ridl
