from what i can tell there was no reason for jared leto to care about finding the child born of a replicant or the father of a child of a replicant. what does that answer? nothing really.. and we're never really told. i think they realized that and then gave him some gay nonsense to utter in an attempt to obfuscate the lack of obvious motivation

lol what? he wants to study the genes in order to learn how to engineer procreative replicants. he literally delivers a speech about this

 

 

Just saw this today. There were three people in the theatre, including me.

Like oscillik, I was extremely wary of this film when it was first announced. I thought the whole thing was a recipe for disaster - an unnecessary follow-up to a film that for me, is a sort of holy grail. I didn’t like the casting. The thought that the studio would just make a mockery of the original.

but why does he want that? sheer curiosity? or to get more power? or to save humanity? the motivation for robin wright to NOT let replicants have children is clear, and the motivation for replicants to have their own children makes sense from a freedom / identity POV, but i guess i still didn't get the antagonist's interest in it beyond I would like to know. thanks for the help- pm to chat

This image is pretty popular when you google Bladerunner 2049. I saw it also in some of the previews and early reviews and yet I don't recall seeing it in the film.

That scene was in the film, but it was very different - much darker.

Surpassed all expectations, great film except way too long. Harrison Ford actually turned in a decent performance, for the first time ever imo. Where did he pull that from, and why now?

d-lo wtf. if they can procreate he exponentially increases the amount of replicants he owns. he delivers an entire speech about the great leaps in civilization built on the backs of slaves but he can only manufacture so many one at a time. he's the bad guy

 

 

what are we in a robert mckee seminar? character motivation? is that what matters? you watch blade runner because it looks cool goddamn what is there to explain

So did the daughter know who and what she was?

 

I'm still wondering if Deckard knows what he really is, bc that was still purposely left ambiguous.  What was so brilliant about the script, is it works either way.

What purpose did these coastal dam type things serve? Protect against sea level rise?

^ Yeah I guess so, "get back before the storm hits"

To be fair to dr lolpez™ Wallace's prose is hard to follow due to it being delivered in an impression of Chris Walken with whiplash. I wouldn't blame the pompous writing at all because that's who the character is, 99% of actors would have made that sound coherent.

Having said that, I saw it again last night and fully knowing the plot it was like watching a different movie, but one that is just as good.

Probably just a promo image. Looks rather posed, and I don't remember a shot in the actual film that was anything like that one (obviously yes the scene was in the film), but a shot like that doesn't seem to fit the general tone of the rest of that scene so I'd guess it's not an outtake.

Speaking of, I'm curious if there'll be much in the way of extended scenes or cut content. The movie certainly doesn't need 'more' imo but I'm curious what else (if anything) was going to be in the film but got cut or changed. I doubt it'll ever see the light of day but I'd love to hear what Johansson was going to do with the score, even just his demos or sketches, assuming he even got that far in the process.

Yes, LA was now below sea level, the snow falling in California was also a hint that climate change had gone amok after the "ecosystems collapsed" in the 2020s.

The Now Playing podcast pointed out there is no title card when entering Las Vegas, although every other location in the film has one, like WB panicked and took that out last minute after the shooting, so maybe that will get put back in on home video releases. I don't believe they said the words "Las Vegas" at all either, did they?
