When I first saw Blade Runner, I was stuned.
Ridly Scott's vision struck so many chords.
I could immediately recognize its impact
on the entire cinematic world.
Now, I've been given the amazing opportunity
to continue the story and direct Blade Runner 2049
which picks up 30 years after the first film.
So, with that in mind,
I decided to ask a couple of artists that I respect
to create three short stories that dramatize some key events
that occurred after 2019, when the first blade Runner takes place,
but before 2049,
when my new Blade Runner story begins.
My friend Luke Scott
has directed this short film you're about to see.
I hope you enjoy this special glimpse
into the world of Blade Runner 2036.
All our memory bearings from the time
were all damaged in the blackout.
But there are sometimes fragments.
No.
Conclusion session 11:17 p.m.
Testimony of Niander Wallace to the Magistrate sectors,
DL 1 or 9 through 26 and so forth Ended MD
Thank you for your patience.
I did not intend to keep you waiting.
The particulars of my affliction
make travel difficult.
Mr. Wallace, we've granted you this meeting
in defense of your contributions.
Your *** contribution...
We recognize that for the public good, for their health.
You remember hunger?
So you indulge the recluse
whose patents keep that hunger at bay ?
I believe in life.
In fact, I have run more life from our earth than ever before.
But it is dying.
You are dying.
Which brings us to
our present concern.
Prohibition.
We have made clear our position.
The prohibition of replicant technology is not subject to debate.
Nor is its repeal.
And yet, we are debating.
Not we.
All that was lost in the blackout,
this cut of history died ***.
Humanity has only survived this long
by crushing the earth to suit its needs.
The stars, our only hope,
are hidden behind the lives you will not allow me to create.
Off-world colonies are thriving.
Insufficient to the needs of ultimate survival.
Your laws have changed the hands of progress.
The laws keep blood off the streets.
Nexus Phase is unreliable.
Safeguards put in place by Tyrell were negligent.
Too many have died. We will not add to that number.
My replicants will live as long or as short as a customer will pay.
My replicants will never rebel, they will never run.
They simply obey.
Step forward.
Find your weapon, do this now.
What is this?
This...
is an angel.
And I made him.
Look up to the left, reveal.
You're committing a crime, Wallace.
Now that's enough!
Lift the glass.
Cut.
No no no no no.
This is wrong.
Does it hurt?
Yes.
You must make a choice.
Your life or mine.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Do this now.
This is wrong.
Human action
resounds in the Heavens.
The bell echoes above.
What we decide here today,
will polish or crack the firmament.
What shall it be?
