A company started to make replica's of the neon signs from Bladerunner. Bit small maybe.

Fucking love the original.
Have extremely high hopes based on Villeneuve's previous films.
Not a big fan of Gosling, was awful in God Forgives.Not 100% convinced yet on the new film - but happy after seeing the trailer.
Also, one of the characters ...
..reminded me of this other character...

- So much craft, for a few seconds of viewing, unlike a piece in a gallery, in which a viewer can linger, and view at their own angles. I hope they keep it allBustySaintClaire
- No do like Kubrick with 2001. Throw it all away ;)tank02

- yeah, i quite like this oneBluejam
- Shit poster montage of actor's faces if you ask me... it's cheap and doesn't add to the movie.zarkonite
- I don't love this one but it's way better than the previous one posted on this page.CyBrainX

"Blade Runner 2049. Hard movie to thread. So much story is told in extended shots of the hero traveling through environments by himself, saying nothing to anyone."

Don't have the link in front of me atm, but yesterday some pop-wag quoted Ridley Scott as saying he may come down from producing to actually direct a 3rd film.

- I have this, thoroughly impressed. My jaw dropped the first time I 'stepped' onto the balcony and the music started. I stood for about 10 minutes just looking.face_melter
- Being made in Unity lets it down in places - there are some rough parts here and there and the fidelity could be better, but as a thing it's great fan service.face_melter
- yeah, looks impressive - will need to see this in VR.Bluejam
- The atmosphere it creates in VR is really good - there are lots of things to look at on the desks, bookshelves.The space is very well realised.face_melter

I watched the original again after having only seen it once like 10 years ago. It was ok. I liked it more than I remembered, but its still flawed imo.
Pretty amazing they got that done without the tech they have today, but the movie itself aside from the visuals is still kinda boring. There is so little story there, but its still stretched out over a while through what feel like endless shots of nothing happening. They tried to fill the space of these dead shots with no dialogue with these loud ass synths, which I guess helps, but there was way too much of it. It actually felt like they just duplicated many shots and sprinkled the same shots throughout the film lol.
So Im seeing the new one this sat. I keep hearing amazing things so I hope it doesnt disappoint.
- get ready ready for a 2:45:00 of synths and engine revving sounds ;)Ramanisky2
- I agree with "loud ass synths"...sorta like the overused Michael Bay or J.J. Abrams Lens flares.utopian
- I didn't mind the sound at all.
loved it.Ramanisky2 - I'm not sure you understood the movie if you claim the story isn't much.monospaced
- I always compare it to old western films. The silence says a whole lot...ShaneHolley

- This is great - I love the real-life Ambient Occlusion he adds with the black paint wash.face_melter
- If there's one thing I hope he imparts on ppl it would be his enthusiasm to make cool shit.GM278

I love this shit - seeing flat models before the post work and that shot of K walking towards Vegas... HHHNNNNNGGGHHHH...

I worked on this (and proud of that) but still but still can't bring myself to watch it. This is all my option but I couldn't get the change of the look and feel against the old one.
I have personal gripes with the set and wardrobe but it's mainly the difference from the lighting and the camera lens. Too flat and sharp, no roll off.
In case any legal's are reading this, people working on this project were lovely, as was the client and this is purely my cynical opinion!
I'm also bitter that Tom Hardy didn't get the part ;-)!
Really happy about the rave views though!
- I thought you did VFX in film industryRamanisky2
- It's difficult sometimes to pull away and enjoy a piece after analyzing it's flaws for what feels like an eternity.since1979
- What is it about wardrobe? (Seemed good fit -- lol but seriously...)Squiddy
- I'd agree some on the lens choice and lighting. Deakins did great and is one of my fave DPs nonetheless.evilpeacock
- Seriously, that police station was all high-key lighting. The original BR everything was dark, smokey, with deep contrast.evilpeacock
- Watch it. It's great. Like the original but better in many ways. See it before it's no longer on the big screen. Please.monospaced
- The change in look and atmosphere could have been better explained in-film rather than relying on (admittedly good) YT shorts.face_melter
- The fall of Tyrell and the rise of Wallace is a film in itself.face_melter
- yay I know you guys are right and I do genuinely adore Deakins but I don't know Blade runner is just perfect and what I saw didnt gel for me. Again not talkingmugwart
- against artistsmugwart
- I am a bladerunner fan, and after I watched 2049, I went back and watched the original again, and I still feel the new one is just as good.monospaced
- The original was great, and had its flaws. I would never say it was perfect. You know as much as anyone that every person working on 2049 was honoring the origmonospaced
- the new one didn't come even close to that end scene with roy batty.inteliboy
- that's true ... I just don't expect/want to have a recreation, and I thought 2049 had some pretty intense emotion as well as some thought provoking materialmonospaced
- If I had worked on this, and I was a huge fan of the original, and all the other people working on it were like-minded, I would see it once on the big screenmonospaced
- I hear you ... but I can't get over their lens choice...mugwart
- That is keeping you from seeing it? If you miss it in theaters you'll never see it the way it was intended. It's a really good movie. Lens isn't a deal breaker!monospaced

How MPC recreated Rachael for Blade Runner 2049

Saw it 2 weeks ago at the Seattle Boeing IMAX, the only "true" IMAX where I live, with the only rival being the full 70mm capable Cinerama. BR 2049 was specially re-formatted for the 12-story IMAX screen rather than being run at the wide theatrical aspect ratio, and it was my intention to see it the best way possible.
The steep IMAX seating worked really well with the giant flyovers; you feel like you're flying yourself because it feels like you're above the screen already.
The IMAX audio presentation is also pretty much unmatched; the booming, rumbling score and SFX were rumbling the whole theater but there was no clipping or distortion even when it felt like everything might just fall apart.
Definitely in my top 5 in-cinema experiences ever, just for the A/V experience alone. But all around my favorite movie this year. If you can, catch it at a full-on IMAX.

- Excellent. They *had* to have a model of the LAPD building - wouldn't be Blade Runner otherwise.face_melter

- I'm always surprised when I see movies using real world models. When I saw that movie I was wondering about render times. Little did I know.CyBrainX
- So good.PhanLo

I want to get the concept art book from this movie, I saw "The Art of Blade Runner" on Amazon, but it looks like it's mostly frames from the actual film, was hoping more of the back end design.
Anyone knows if they released something like this already?
