My excitement for this has surpassed my hype for Star Wars honestly. I really am expecting great things.
If it hasn't been mentioned already, the Final Cut is the definitive version. Make sure you watch that one.
With the talent they assembled behind and in front of the camera, I'm not surprised at all it's getting high praise. Villeneuve directing, Fancher writing, Deakins as DP, the cast is great, something really colossal would've had to happen to mess this up. My personal hype is increasing by a lot.
Yeah I mean, I will not be surprised if I enjoy this more than any movie in years. I'm just a Star Wars nerd, but honestly Blade Runner is originally what got me into true, hardcore sci-fi. As with many other people I'm sure.
The anime short is incredible. Really hope this becomes the next big thing with the studios, putting out short films to compliment the main material.
I feel like this is going to be my favorite of the year. And I love that it comes out on my birthday.
Completely forgot this was coming out this week. Cannot believe tomorrow we will already be in October. Also seem to have missed that the run-time was 2 hours and 43 minutes. Exciting.
If the music from the trailer matches the soundtrack then this will be worth a buy. Epic Records to Release ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Soundtrack | Film Music Reporter
Yeah, if the score is good I'm definitely going to pick up whatever vinyl pressing that I imagine will be put out. Also, Hot Topic has some shirts up if you're into that sort of thing.
Score explanation: “The thing I will say is that making movies is a laboratory. It’s an artistic process. You cannot plan things. Jóhann Jóhannsson is one of my favorite composers alive today. He’s a very strong artist,” Villeneuve told Al Arabiya English. “But the movie needed something different, and I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis. Jóhan and I decided that I will need to go in another direction — that’s what I will say. I hope I have the chance to work with him again because I think he’s really a fantastic composer.” and "Jóhannsson is contractually forbidden from commenting" ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Soundtrack: Denis Villeneuve Finally Reveals Why Jóhann Jóhannsson Left the Project
Do studios usually release one or two songs online before the film is released? If I can't hear any samples before the release date of the film then i'll just wait until after I watch the movie to download the soundtrack.
Sometimes - I think a track from Dunkirk was released before the film to build up hype but I could be mistaken - and honestly it wouldn't surprise me if they don't release anything. It looks like the official digital release date is the same as the film.
Just watched the first one for the first time (the Final Cut because that's the one I saw recommended everywhere) and I fucking loved it. Holy shit, I can't believe I went this long in my life without having seen that movie. So incredibly hyped for this now
