Denis Villeneuve’s Editor Looks Back at That Four-Hour ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Cut, Teases How He’s Approaching ‘Dune’

‘Blade Runner 2049’ Production Diary Reveals Alternative Title and 9 More Things You Didn’t Know About the Sequel


recently rewatched it again a few nights ago, movie really grows on me on every rewatch. I'm 100% sure in 10-20 years this will achieve the same cult status as the OG BR, and its well deserved. That final sequence where K lies down on the steps and "the" song starts playing is so amazing.

Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077

RIP

Doing a rewatch. This movie gets better with repeated viewing spaced out. HOW IN FUCK did this only do $259m at the box office when the last ultra shit Star Wars did $1.3b. I love the velvet brutality of Luv...she's my kind of woman.



A small series with replicates as main characters would be interesting.

Scott wants to do his own sequel. What a shitshow that would be. It would be all about SJW replicants who find Jesus and move to an outer world where they try to convert the local population.

The love scene with Joi and Mariette was interesting. Technology like that would be a boon to ugly men and women everywhere.

We really need a director's cut update. I'm thirsty for any word at all since July.

His editor said it was really painful to cut down from 4 hours-- the interest in that is going to be perpetual.

ugh, jesus fuck, I hope they don't give Scott another go at this. I can't even remember the last good movie that dude made, and his attempts to revisit the Alien universe clearly indicate that he doesn't get it anymore.

The last good movie he directed was The Martian.

Yeah, The Martian was good. tbh I didn't even realize he directed that, but I liked it.

I want to say I liked American Gangster, but at the same time I've never actually seen the entire movie so maybe I don't. But Matchstick Men for sure was good. That's like 2003. His IMDB is just a minefield of wasted potential and shitty movies.

Oh oh. Come on, Scott, are you going to take a shit on the chest of yet another previously successful movie of yours?

HOW HE IS DEAD? Areghhhhh

He's done some great movies, but the amount of trash movies he's done is kind of crazy. Blackhawk Down, Alien and Blade Runner are all time movies for me. The Martian and Gladiator are great too and then there's a few good ones, but like half or more of his movies are just mediocre to actively bad.

It wasn't, though. Potential? Sure, loads. Squandered. Same with Covenant.

I don't want to shit on him too much. I just finished the book of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and let me tell you, he really put a hell of a lot of work and imagination in to get Blade Runner from that source material. The two are barely connected, but his vision is definitely superior to the book. Personally, I think 2049 is better than the original. And Scott claims to have written most of the script for 2049, and when you hear him talk about his overall vision for Blade Runner it's really cool. I'm probably just salty because he missed so hard on those Alien movies, and they had so much potential. And that Robin Hood movie, he took an excellent premise and completely hosed it. I'm not confident that modern day Ridley Scott could have pulled off 2049.

And his "Upcoming Alien Prequel" is going to blow, and that Gladiator 2 shit sounds like a bit from Bojack Horseman. Some people need an editor, or at least someone around who won't just yesman all their bullshit ideas.

Yeah my biggest issue with Prometheus is it's just really hard to get past supposedly top notch minds all being idiots constantly.
