The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

...hardback is US$18 on Book Depository so maybe get that instead of paperback? There's probably looooads of gutter loss on the spreads though

that looks like it's the DH newer series, afaict the original series hasn't been collected again

we've finally reached peak orange and teal

knowing Villeneuve's work, i doubt the finished product is as much of a chase + explosions deal as the trailers make it appear. if the action scenes are in line w/what he did in Sicario, he would be the correct choice. anyway this movie certainly *looks* incredible. the story, we'll see. Jared Leto can either be great or obnoxious, we'll see on that too.

I hope he leans on what works well and just recreates the night vision in a tunnel scene from Sicario

(mh/tombot- whoops yeah, I searched shaolin cowboy burlyman but didn't click through and read descriptions 🤦🏼‍♀️)

this is very unlike you sic, but I know you will do better

Qui-Gon Jinn looks really pissed off on that poster

That is really bad teal and orange. They just put two monochrome schemes next to each other.

like replicants... and humans

or are they really such distinct shades?

The two in front look like Hobbits.

keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool

this is everything that's shit about mainstream movies in 2017

sorry, just feeling grumpy this morning, as you were

Maybe this is satire?

Xpost lol

is it just me or did the new preview clip spoil a major plot thingy

new trailer for the 4K of the Final Cut is genius, if you flip the YouTube settings to 4K it's a gorgeous thing.

Good lord, those posters. John Alvin's shade curses them from the grave.

Only Blade Forgives

fixed the poster (sort of)

Those posters look like the floaties you put on a toddler's arms at the pool

Anyone know if they've announced when the soundtrack will be available?

That short film prequel thing they released is not promising. Leto talks. Portentously. With weird. Annoying. Gaps in his speech. To show how. Meaningful it all. Is.
Also his character hasn't changed haircuts in 15 years.

fun fact: this movie is 163 minutes long

fuuuuuuck

;_;

Definitely buying a ticket now

Perfect title

Try to Contain Your Surprise That Jared Leto Went Way Over the Top on the Blade Runner 2049 Set

Anyone know if they've announced when the soundtrack will be available?

I'd like to know. And I'd really like to know how much Johannsen will remain in the movie/on the album and how much Hans Zimmer will have replaced it (was super excited to hear what the former would do for this movie as the Arrival score was just jaw-droppingly good to me)

Wait hold on, I either missed the Zimmer news or intentionally blotted it from my brain so I didn't have to think about it. (Which I suppose is very Blade Runnerish, so.)

Anyway

harrison ford sounds like a character out of a scandinavian cop show in that

he always comes off so gruffly matter-of-fact in interviews. can definitely picture him saying that.

Leto looks unbearable in this

i'll see this but damn i don't like shamanistic new age bad guys, Hollywood needs Henriksen types now more than ever.

Hell, Joe Turkel was amazing in the original, and he was just this understated dude.

Genuinely think the Leto stuff has made me decide to not see this, despite/because of the original being one of my favourite films

He seems to be doing some kind of bad Shatner impression?

The fact that Hans Zimmer is now doing the music is...not inspiring.

hugely disappointed they ditched Johann Johannsson, that more than anything I've seen in trailers signals this went off the rails and is going to suck.

Yup
The score could still be good depending on which Zimmer we get (the Beyond Rangoon/Interstellar zimmer I could see doing a cool blade runner score) but the disappointment of not hearing what JJ would have done is massive.

While promoting Suicide Squad, all the cast could talk about was how crazy Jared Leto had been on set, sending people anal beads, used condoms, dead rats, bullets, and an entire pig, as well as making everyone refer to him as 'Mr. J'.

Preparing for Blade Runner 2049, Leto went full method actor again, apparently partially blinding himself by wearing sight-limiting contact lenses.

“He entered the room, and he could not see at all,” director Denis Villeneuve told the SWJ magazine in a profile piece about Leto.

“He was walking with an assistant, very slowly. It was like seeing Jesus walking into a temple. Everybody became super silent, and there was a kind of sacred moment. Everyone was in awe. It was so beautiful and powerful — I was moved to tears. And that was just a camera test!”

i think i've said it here before, but it's hilarious and slightly endearing that leto goes full-on method in support of delivering terrible performances

also, denis villeneuve sounds like a total idiot

He really does

between this and mother! Johannsson is having a tough time getting his scores into movies these days
