Here's Ridley explaining weather he is or is not a replicant. It's about the Unicorn dream that showed up in the Director's Cut. Ridely Scott That's all he has and he put that BS in there to sell DVDs. That unicorn meant Gaff knew Rachel was there and let them be together. Gaff made little origami pieces throughout the movie explaining how Deckard felt at that moment. The unicorn represented something hard to find/catch, one of a kind like Rachel. View Quote |

So, I wonder if Atari Corporation is a main theme in this next movie. Like how the Tyrell Corporation was.
I love the classic music from the original being in the trailer. |

The book and the movie are not the same. This causes arfommers a real problem. I read the book after I saw the movie. In the movie, the replicants are not mechanical robots. They are almost impossible to detect. Same thing happened with "The man in the high castle". The series and book have a commonality, but the are not the same.

I didn't say anything in that quote about the book. He wasn't a replicant in the original movie. View Quote The original movie was very much more about all the questions of what is human. There's layers of it in actions of all the major players both replicant and human. All the movies are great. True science fiction. |

"Future Noir The Making of Blade Runner" is significant because it has everything about the film in it from beginning to end. Every person and company involved, arguments, ideas,processes,etc. Quotes and interviews with everyone involved. Scene by scene explanation from everyone involved. I read it many years ago, but I guess I'll have to skim through it so I quote exactly what it says since nobody here has read it. Another book I'd recommend is "The Blade Runner Experience" which I'm quoted in.

Looks good. I think that Ryan Gosling is the Deckard and Rachel's Son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjiqa-PWGQY View Quote |

What would you rate her on the hittable/crazy scale now and then? That crazy chart has red heads, strippers but not actresses on it http://thefilmstage.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Blade-Runner-2049-9-620x257.png View Quote Now she's even more batshit crazy and age catches up to everyone. |

I've never been able to make it more than 20 minutes into the original Blade Runner. I'll have to give it another shot. Trailer looks great

Two very annoying people, Jared Leto and Robin "Can I speak to your Manager, I'm a very serious woman" Right.
Hopefully they don't ruin it. |

Los Angeles Chinatown is all but gone now [same for Japantown which is only 1 block now] so that feature of the film is a bit off despite the number of Chinese living in California being double what it was in the 1980s, they all moved to the suburbs of Irvine in Orange County. The Japanese have all but vanished in California https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIEn4LEMYuc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3mRWCeyBvA View Quote |

I'm not overly impressed by what the nerds are putting out on Youtube and online so far, except for a couple guesses that seem spot on

Seeing how often screen caps from the trailer are being posted, it looks like Deakins did a superb job, as usual.

Looks amazing! Really looking forward to how they explain why Deckard is alive though, considering they retconned him into being a replicant and pushed the idea for years. The first movie was absolute in about the limited lifespan.

Major plot hole in blade runner.
In the opening scene where Leon was being tested at the Tyrell Corporation, The Tyrell people should have spotted Leon a mile away whether by facial, retina, fingerprint, DNA, etc. Why would they need the Voight-Kamphf test? "That's our boy! Shootem!" |

View Quote Back to the memory implant deal, I don't think the problem with Roy and company in the movie was as simple as they were Replicants on Earth but also the fact that they knew they were Replicants and knew they had an expiration date. Whether or not every Replicant knew he was one or not isn't something I remember being touched on precisely, but they were definitely not supposed to know they had a "use by" date and especially what that date was. How many times have you heard "Never piss off an old guy with nothing to lose?" That is all of them once they know their clock is almost up. |

View Quote I imagine that replicants are more or less the butter robot from Rick and Morty. They are most likely pre-programmed in utero (or however they call the pre-alive constructive state) with the necessary things to do the job they are built to do. So when they slide out of their birthbag, get hosed off and given a set of clothes they get put immediately to work. Someone tells them to tote that barge and lift that bale and they just do, because it is what they were "programmed" to do. And I imagine like any cultist in a closed society with a head full of doctrine, they go about their jobs without much of a care... until someone or something breaks their programming (or they break their own through life experience) and they start asking questions. And like Rick's butter robot, all of them when presented with the truth of their existence probably have a bit of a breakdown. Tyrell's memory implant experiment was an attempt to prevent that inevitable "awakening" by preventing existential questions all self aware things eventually have. |

That last sentence has it. The fake memories are there because a human mind, even a synthetic one, has an inate need for them. Remember how in the Matrix agent Smith says the first generation simulation was too perfect and the humans started rejecting it? "Whole crops were lost"

Regarding the scene with the burning structure, tree and greenhouses I think that's a scene where K. whacks the Bautista replicant. Scott described it once in an interview.

Like many new "remake / sequels" that are coming out right now the trailer gives me hope, but I'm still cautious. I do like a lot of the people involved with the movie though, so with some luck it won't Prometheus out on us. ... and with the resurgence of darkwave / synthpop lately the soundtrack could be pretty epic.

Is this the blu-ray version to buy?
Never seen the entire movie all the way through. Have heard there are a ton of versions. Is that the one to buy? |

The soundtrack better have guns and roses otherwise I'm not gonna watch it.

Decker is a skin job....hmmmm...
Make a clone and use him to hunt down the replicants. I wonder if Rachel will still be around. CGI can do it. I never liked R. Scott's liberal messages, but I do like his movies...mostly. |

Now that Alien Covenant ended up disappointing at the box office, I wonder if the studio is nervous about this one. Even though Villeneuve is at the helm and that guy has an awesome track record, it was Ridley Scott's baby.
