Whereas Blade Runner became famous for various different cuts, it seems that Villeneuve is determined to make sure there’s only one version of Blade Runner 2049.
Blade Runner 2049 had a lot to live up to, being the belated sequel to one of the most iconic science fiction films of all time.
Others also point to Blade Runner being more of a cult film than a tentpole, so a big-budget sequel was always going to struggle.
Blade Runner 2049‘s hologram fight sequence – where Deckard and K come to blows in an abandoned casino – came close to being cut, the film’s editor has revealed.
