The Blade Runner Thread

First attempt at shooting this last year was to be in Ireland, now it's settled on Prauge. Will be interesting to see what we're in store for, visually, this time around.

Could be wrong, of course, but I don't expect 2099 to be set in LA.

Why not?

Why not?

Just a baseless guess, mostly. Curious to see what a new locale (maybe even one Off-World?) might look like.

It would've thought it would have to be either LA or an off world colony.

[Immortan Jonesy]

or an off world colony.

It would be a nice expansion of the live-action lore.

[LastSonofKrypton]

An off world colony would be interesting. I'm all for expanding the world more

Why would Blade Runners be operating off-world?  Their only job is to hunt down and retire Replicants that have illegally made it to Earth, right?

Yeah, I mean you should know right?

The story could be following Replicants trying to get to Earth

Things can change in 40 years!

Yes and no.

In first Blade Runner (year 2019) Nexus-6 (Tyrell Corporation) were hunted down and retired.

In Blade Runner 2049 Nexus-9 (Wallace Corporation), known for their obedience are part of society because prohibition got lifted. For example, K works for LAPD. Nexus-9 are slaves but they have their rights. If replicant breaks the law (either on Earth or off-world) then Blade Runner will deal with it, meaning arresting not retiring.

Also, upcoming BR series will take place in 2099, so we don't know what has changed since 2049.

Both, comic books (Titan Books) and RPG (Free League) are licensed by Alcon Entertainment. I'm guessing that tv series will follow the lore.

I want Blade Runner 2079 with a female protagonist and all that must mean.  Preferably Hunter Schafer please.

[Local Trouble]

I'd like to see a Blade Runner movie that doesn't flop for a change.

The Blade Runner runs away from Earth because he is being hunted by another Blade Runner who thinks he's a replicant.

The title of the film is Blade Runners.

Gimme my damn cheque.

Apparently production will begin in June instead of April.

Alcon Entertainment and Ridley Scott Productions' limited series Blade Runner 2099 for Prime Video will shoot at the Czech Republic's Barrandov Studios in Prague from June.

Very interesting take
