Ridley Scott goes into detail about the opening scene of Blade Runner 2

November 19, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Taking a break from development on Alien: Covenant (a.k.a. the movie formerly known as Prometheus 2 and Alien: Paradise Lost), Ridley Scott has been discussing another of his upcoming projects in the Denis Villenueve-directed Blade Runner 2, going into plenty of detail about the opening scene:

“Turn around and you see a massive tree, just dead, but the tree is being supported and kept alive by wires that are holding the tree up. It’s a bit like The Grapes of Wrath; there’s dust, and the tree is still standing. By that tree is a traditional, Grapes of Wrath-type white cottage with a porch. Behind it at a distance of two miles, in the twilight, is this massive combine harvester that’s fertilizing this ground. You’ve got 16 Klieg lights on the front, and this combine is four times the size of this cottage. And now a spinner [a flying car] comes flying in, creating dust. Of course, traditionally chased by a dog that barks.

“The doors open, a guy gets out and there you’ve got Rick Deckard. He walks in to the cottage, opens the door, smells stew, sits down and waits for the guy to pull up to the house to arrive. The guy’s seen him, so the guy pulls the combine behind the cottage and it towers three stories above it, and the man climbs down from a ladder – a big man. He steps onto the balcony and he goes to Harrison [Ford]’s side. The cottage actually [creaks]; this guy’s got to be 350 pounds. I’m not going to say anything else – you’ll have to go see the movie.”

The Blade Runner sequel – rumoured to be subtitled Androids Dream – will see Harrison Ford back as Rick Deckard alongside new cast addition Ryan Gosling. It is currently without a release date, but expected to go into production in 2016.
