Yes it will. Just as original Blade Runner was in & out the theaters in 1 week, 35 years later Blade Runner 2049 gets made due to the underground cult fanatucal fan base that mushroomed in the years after the ‘82 original to sound the alarm that a sequel was not only desired but expected.
Now that 2 Blade Runner films are on the market the fan base will only grow larger with each passing year. Cyberpunk has always been niche genre but one that is still constantly growing & evolving 40 years after Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner film & William Gibson’s Neuromancer novel were brilliantly created into existence in ‘82 & ‘84 respectively.
@@jd5726 I think, sadly you are right. Just like the first film it bombed but has built a dedicated cult fan base. I think further adventures and stories in this wonderful world will be in animation or live action series.
Never would have thought that Bautista would make such an amazing actor. It seems a lot of wrestlers are extremely talented actors. In retrospect you would think they would be since their profession of wrestling is putting on the show. So it seems they have experience to further their careers in such roles as they've been given on the big screen.
He did a solid job for the role. I withold overall judgment of his acting skills since I haven't him in much, but his performance in 2049 was very strong in a movie filled with very strong performances. Without knowing his history, he put enough athleticism on screen to sell the raw physical power of replicants, and also played the subdued emotions brilliantly alongside Gosling. I can't wait to see Dune so I can judge him for more than a scene.
I wouldn't judge wrestling guys from seeing Bautista. He's definitely more skilled than most of them and they usually are definitely not "extremely talented actors". If you think they are, your probably also marveling about the great acting skills in homemade porn movies
5:26 Man...the atmosphere on the part with iggy talking to trixie about the mission, the soundtrack playing combined with his voice, the sun setting sky, the factories and lights passing by in the background is just beautiful.
Animation is pretty damn good. Has that perfect '80s style to it. As far as I'm concerned the '80s animations were top tier, especially the space battles, complete eye candy.
What about black lotus? Is it canon? Edit: It is canon. Black Lotus took place in 2032, so to put it in the chronological order, it's a sequel to Blade Runner 2022: Black Out.
12:05 During Blade Runner 2049 , you can see they added emergency landing on ground lever to police cars because of any electrical issues of car occurs.
I like this way of filling in the gaps. Gaff still being on the job and so there to see the Blackout in '22 makes perfect sense. It wasn't until I watched this I realised they EMP'ed LA as well as physically destroying Tyrell Corporation and all of it's backups. Also, Wallace and his ideas are monstrosities. Not the Replicants-Wallace truly believes that Replicants are the future. That he can make Humanity "better". He doesn't actually care about Humanity, never did. But-he's not Eldon Tyrell. Tyrell's Nexus 7 series were able to have children with a Human, health issues notwithstanding. Wallace has been working to replicate the feat since 2032 and has been unable to, which is why he needs what Rick Deckard knows. But, Eldon Tyrell, in reality, wanted to live forever. Having a Replicant able to have children would solve all of his problems. Transfer his consciousness into the child, updating and repair make him functionally immortal. If he hadn't been killed in 2019, he'd have likely succeeded. Wallace just doesn't know this. Also, Sapper was a Nexus 8 Replicant combat model with actual combat experience who covered his tracks from 2020-BEFORE the Blackout. Freya was entirely correct when she said Sapper LET Joe kill him in '49. This is a man who only finally gave away his secret to save a woman and child he cared for who were facing rape and murder, at least. How much more Human do people want Replicants to be...?
The concept of Replicants having children is a ridiculous one and is probably the biggest problem I have with BR2049. The Tyrell that Batty kills in BR was a Replicant version of the real Tyrell who was already dead and being cryogenically preserved on a higher floor of the Tyrell Corporation. Whether he was able to transfer his consciousness to his Replicant version or not (I would have thought that was impossible and that the Replicant version was just his best effort at making a replica of himself) the fact that Tyrell was able to make a replicant version of himself before dying meant he had already achieved a sense of immortality. Even if they kept the 4 -year lifespan. Each Tyrell replicant would still be able to manufacture a subsequent replacement and add additional memories to it when its own lifespan was coming towards its end (and if consciousness was transferred the first time it would be able to transferred again) and all this without the need for pregnancy, birth and child-rearing.
@@owaffs Actually, no, it's been established that was the original Tyrell who was killed in 2019. He was never able to transfer his consciousness to a Replicant, that was why he kept trying with Replicants 1-8. If a Replicant could have a child? Best of both worlds. He died before he could do it, or he likely would have succeeded. The Owl he's so often seen with held a digital backup of his consciousness, as close as he ever got.
The first one is made by the creators of Cowboy Bebop The second one is made by the creators of the original Blade Runner The third one is made by the creators of the second Blade Runner There is a reason why this has less than a million views and that is because the public doesn't know Talent when they see it Welcome to the underground my friends
The reason this has less than a million views may have more to do with the fact that it was shared on an individual's page rather than an official outlet. The first and second shorts have over 3 million views each on the Warner Bros site, and the third is just under 2 million.

The first blade runner did terrible at the box office , but it became a sci Fi cult classic that cried out for a sequel. And we got it , and I must say it wasn't a disappointment. The pressure was on to compete with a dream , it's like your first kiss . You can't top it but you can match it.
I rewatched the original Blade Runner last week. And now having watched this masterpiece for the first time was a pleasure. Now I can watch the recent one and be caught up.
One thing that has always bugged me is that if the population is so massive then synthetics would never be needed, required, nor wanted as masses of cheap easily recruited people would be on hand. I have this problem with the expanse tv series. Earth would literally hurl the masses to the rest of the solar system. It would not be difficult or hard for such societies to get such things accomplished.
the creation of replicants gives " green moral pass" for any violation, abuse, mistreatment and so on that any human would not tolerate ( and at some point not even replicants accept them either...more human than human). Slavery in " another country" ( what we are doing now, 2022, basically) becomes impossible to avoid when you run out of planet, literally, and the concept of " not in my backyard" becomes impossible. Replicants represent the artificial solution on a ( very hypocritical) moral conundrum.
It’s interesting that wallace is blind, he’s so confident with his logic he was willing to take out his vision in order to solidify his morals. Very interesting character.
I watched on IMAX Blade Runner 2049 in 9017 after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico , man, I lived a real black out from September 22 to December 20, no electricity , all running by inverter power generators , so I felt the Blade Runner atmosphere all that time
Whoa. Had no idea these even existed and 2049 is one of my favorite films. I've watched Black Lotus as well and read the comics. Hope they continue to expand on this underutilized universe. Thanks for sharing
Blade runner 2049 was so good, it’s a shame there wasn’t a market for it. Everybody has to seem marvel level comedic relief in every movie these days to give it good reviews. The bleak seriousness of 2049 didn’t sell.
Agree, it is sad that everything as you say today have to be or have comedy level relief to get critical acclaim and good reviews. The story of blade runner 2049 is very well developed and thought through with good realistic action, could have been better lines served with more emotion to get the viewer interaction with the characters better but other than that it’s a really solid movie. I hope they will make prequel feature films from the blackout + jump to 2036, and 2048 as setups to 2049 . Make a feature film about the start of the uprising of the replicant army and the ensuing war I suspect 2053? and a sequel wrapping up the timeline and letting us se the replicants start reproducing with them gaining enough body’s to establish there own government, institutions, army and society living together peacefully with equal rights as humanity.
I did not know these existed until i was watching music videos. Verger was one i saw, it was to the first short movie here and was amazing. I enjoyed these (so far, only seen blackout). They show so much about humanity.
Ironnically, the director of the first one, Shinichiro Watanabe was the guy who made Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and directed two of the shorts in the Animatrix, "Detective Story" and "kid Story" I remember seeing an interview with Watanabe years ago wherein he was asked about his involvement in Animatrix and he mentioned how much he loved Second Renaissance and how it was his favorite. I can't help but think he had it in mind when making Blackout 2022.
@@franksanchez8111 it’s worse than I expected. I thought they’re gonna use the same 3D art style as the animated Altered Carbon film which I don’t really like but still not as bad as what the trailer has shown me, the trailer looks like it came out in the early 2000’s, and I’ve seen 3D animations in the early 2000’s that even better than that.
Who produced these excellent anime shorts. Are they part of the company/corporation that made the 2 Blade Runner films? It's my first time seeing this. Very cool. Remind me of the AniMatriX shorts & the Aeon FluX cart00ns, (errr...not the movie).
You know i don't know the studio but i know those lines after watched 200 anime. These are Manglobe studio's art- They went bankrupt like 3-4 years ago, some animators after bankrupt, found Geno Studio and looks like the others...made this.
@@serhat6181 Thanks for that info. I hope those animators work on a Star Wars anime like the one seen on youtube by some guy in Japan who did a 3 to 5 minute short all by himself. That in itself is amazing and the animation he created is incredible. The herky-jerky animation that i see on tv; and i'm talking specifically of the Warner Brother & Marvel cartoons of superheroes. That animation is hard to watch. They only bother animation 9 to 12 frames per second only when there's movement. You would think with the ease of in-between animation by a computer & animators that we would see something in the range of 18 to 22 frames per second. I guess the budgets have shrunk enormously and animators make just above minimum wage.
@@serhat6181 Serhat Good optics on that wouldn't know where to begin to ask who did this anime.

Thank you for sharing, i had only seen snippets of this and i really love OG and 2049. I would love to see a conclusion or additional storyline if it happens:)

@@starwarsorsomething5703 ah ok! Do you know why it flopped at the box office? I watched it now and I think it's amazing, not only aesthetically very beautiful (especially for big cyberpunk fans like me) but imho it continued the philosophical themes of the 1.movie very well.
When I first saw this back in 2017, I thought Jared Leto's cadence and inflection made him an interesting character. 5 years later I just realized he talks exactly like the G Man from Half Life.

@@davidrey4183 yea they're pretty good. It follows a female blade runner. Forget her name tho
I had no idea these shorts existed either (and I've been a Blade Runner fan since the first!) and I'm not aware of Black Lotus, ...what is that?
@@hurdygurdyguy1 Lotus is a Blade Runner anime that follows this female character it was on adult swim
That i was needed, tnx
Blade runner 2049 was so good, it’s a shame there wasn’t a market for it. Everybody has to seem marvel level comedic relief in every movie these days to give it good reviews. The bleak seriousness of 2049 didn’t sell.
Agree, it is sad that everything as you say today have to be or have comedy level relief to get critical acclaim and good reviews. The story of blade runner 2049 is very well developed and thought through with good realistic action, could have been better lines served with more emotion to get the viewer interaction with the characters better but other than that it’s a really solid movie.
I hope they will make prequel feature films from the blackout + jump to 2036, and 2048 as setups to 2049 . Make a feature film about the start of the uprising of the replicant army and the ensuing war I suspect 2053? and a sequel wrapping up the timeline and letting us se the replicants start reproducing with them gaining enough body’s to establish there own government, institutions, army and society living together peacefully with equal rights as humanity.
Incredible work
Great animation but the plotarmor at 9:16 is too funny.
Guys got the aim of a Stormtrooper
I did not know these existed until i was watching music videos. Verger was one i saw, it was to the first short movie here and was amazing.
I enjoyed these (so far, only seen blackout). They show so much about humanity.
Awesome shots man!
thanks for the upload! convenient
Brilliant. All 3 prequels add so much and should have been integrated into the Film.
Thanks for this 🙂
I didn't even know these existed!
Cheers, imma watch 'em tonight.
Thanks very much!
I forgot that these existed. What a pleasant reminder.
This is like the Animatrix
Excellent video!!!!
Thanks!..didn't know these existed!!
I love when research pays off and you see cool ass shit like this 8:57 while knowing the story behind Replicant
The first one reminds me of the 'Animatrix' short 'The Second Renaissance (parts 1+2)'.
Yes agreed✌👍😁
Ironnically, the director of the first one, Shinichiro Watanabe was the guy who made Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and directed two of the shorts in the Animatrix, "Detective Story" and "kid Story"
I remember seeing an interview with Watanabe years ago wherein he was asked about his involvement in Animatrix and he mentioned how much he loved Second Renaissance and how it was his favorite. I can't help but think he had it in mind when making Blackout 2022.
Unfortunately the Blade Runner anime won’t have art styles like this....
Yeah it's too late given Magna maybe in the mid to late nineties
I just saw the trailer and it sucks
@@franksanchez8111 it’s worse than I expected. I thought they’re gonna use the same 3D art style as the animated Altered Carbon film which I don’t really like but still not as bad as what the trailer has shown me, the trailer looks like it came out in the early 2000’s, and I’ve seen 3D animations in the early 2000’s that even better than that.
thanks man appreciated
Thank you! :D
its Morbin time
Shuko Murase's animation is extraordinery.
I giggled when it was revealed he was taking control of the missile by spamming the tab key repeatedly or something lol
I’ve already seen this, but a gremlin sent me here.
Hell yeah, investigator.
;)
👀
Yeehaw investigator
o7
These were great!
Who produced these excellent anime shorts. Are they part of the company/corporation that made the 2 Blade Runner films? It's my first time seeing this. Very cool. Remind me of the AniMatriX shorts & the Aeon FluX cart00ns, (errr...not the movie).
You know i don't know the studio but i know those lines after watched 200 anime. These are Manglobe studio's art- They went bankrupt like 3-4 years ago, some animators after bankrupt, found Geno Studio and looks like the others...made this.
@@serhat6181 that’s cool...😁
@@serhat6181 Thanks for that info. I hope those animators work on a Star Wars anime like the one seen on youtube by some guy in Japan who did a 3 to 5 minute short all by himself. That in itself is amazing and the animation he created is incredible.
The herky-jerky animation that i see on tv; and i'm talking specifically of the Warner Brother & Marvel cartoons of superheroes.
That animation is hard to watch. They only bother animation 9 to 12 frames per second only when there's movement.
You would think with the ease of in-between animation by a computer & animators that we would see something in the range of 18 to 22 frames per second.
I guess the budgets have shrunk enormously and animators make just above minimum wage.
@@serhat6181 Serhat Good optics on that wouldn't know where to begin to ask who did this anime. Seems too old since GIT SHELL (I & you no doubt see a lotta of rehashed standard anime semi static moves (although they would have been cool in pre GIT SHELL mid late 90's I guess . etc..but hey it's for the masses. Love to have a studio art frame of any of it on my wall hehe
Nice to see there Adam Savage from MythBusters at 20:58
8:21 "No heaven or hell for us, this world is all we got"
Thank you for sharing, i had only seen snippets of this and i really love OG and 2049. I would love to see a conclusion or additional storyline if it happens:)
I believe blade runner 2099 the series is coming out in a year or 2
We need a blade runner series following this guy where he's played by trevante rhodes ASAP
I believe they are coming out with a blade runner 2099 series
6:09 For some reason, this short picture is the most beautiful anime impression for me.
Thank you.
You're welcome! 😊
Watched Blade Runner last night. Checked this video out before I see Blade Runner 2049. I hear it’s amazing! Am I wrong?
2049 is a worthy successor. It captures the atmosphere of the predecessor very well and logically continues the story.
Too bad that not all sequels are that good.
Felt Doctor Sleep is a worthy sequel very much in vein of Blade Runner 2049.
I'm about to watch 2049, looks awesome and looked forward to it after watching the origonal but got youtube suggestions that it "failed" lmao, will see I hope it's as good as its cinematics
@@MaryamMful that video is probably referring to the failure at the box office, not in the movie itself
@@starwarsorsomething5703 ah ok! Do you know why it flopped at the box office? I watched it now and I think it's amazing, not only aesthetically very beautiful (especially for big cyberpunk fans like me) but imho it continued the philosophical themes of the 1.movie very well.
This is excellent. Watanabe is always great with his animation team.👌🏿👍🏿😎🌴🌙
feels like Ghost in the shell and bladerunner should have a cross over universe
They cross polinated
Imagine if black lotus actually tried to deliver on story
That fight music in the first one goes HARDDDD
Thank you
Do you have any idea how satisfying these gunshots are? I want these sound effects in the next gun game.
Hey man that's last year. The more things change the more they stay the same.
I subbed bcse of this 🥰👍
How did I just find out about these... After rewatching BR2049 I can't help but wish Denis would take on another, set in 2079 for ex.
more of this pls thanks
They should’ve made Black Lotus in the style of the 2022 short
Man I hope the upcoming Blade Runner anime (Black Lotus) is just like this! I know Watanabe won’t go wrong!
I like how black out stars a black blade runner, no pun intended there im sure
He is simply magnificent in this role.
Seen this many years ago on extra on dvd. 👍😊
Wow man! Just wow! 🤩
They should do a bigger movie from Black Out...
I would love it!!
When I first saw this back in 2017, I thought Jared Leto's cadence and inflection made him an interesting character. 5 years later I just realized he talks exactly like the G Man from Half Life.
