The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049

Product Information

Paired with "Interlinked," this book is fantastic in filling in the gaps for those of us who love this film. The one complaint I have is that, compared to "Interlinked", the physical build quality of the book was relatively low. It wasn't extreme, and I still highly recommend the book, but having just enjoyed "Interlinked," with its higher build quality, I wished I could have spent an extra 5 dollars on this volume and gotten a similar binding and cover.

This vintage Conseta lounge chair was designed by Friedrich W. Möller in 1964 and manufactured by Cor in the 1970s – the very choice of chair by Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049. We get a better view of them in a behind-the-scenes shot of Denis Villeneuve on set, but they played even more of a starring role in the first movie.

Success!

In 1982’s ground-breaking science-fiction film Blade Runner, the world saw a vision of the future so bold and breath-taking it remains at the forefront of pop culture. Thirty-five years later, many of the world-renowned original cast and crew made a thrilling return to that world. Their journey is chronicled with captivating detail in this official visual guide to Blade Runner 2049, presented in an oversized and luxe full-colour format. It's also huge, like massively huge. Almost too physically large to be easily read, but this wide format is a great way to present the artwork from the movie. Asked to explore physical and organic alternatives to digital, LED and devices, the team sought to develop concepts that felt seamless with the bleak world of 2049. Setting aside CG tools and sketchbooks, we turned to the physical textures of old school technology.

responses to “ Life imitates art: 6 key artefacts in Blade Runner 2049 and the hidden stories they tell.” Interestingly Chris Baker said in an interview on Medium“If I designed Rogue City now I would have been a little bit more subtle. I would have stopped it from being overly feminine as well because it’s one sided, It’s very female oriented. I would have intertwined it so you were not quite sure what’s male and what’s female. I have always thought of it as being the sexual equivalent of Las Vegas”.

These angular structures add more depth to the noir narrative, and, with the help of all the rain and smog, contributes to casting the city in darkness. The production and art department teams found plenty of Brutalist inspiration when scouting the angular, concrete buildings in Budapest where the movie was shot but there has been some debate on the use of this word as a visual style or as reference to Brutalism, the architectural movement born in the 1950s. Brutalist architecture has its roots in socialism and is so much more than a look or style – which is actually at odds with the film’s take on a future born from capitalism, as pointed out in an interesting article on Failed Architecture. K and his Spinner in Blade Runner 2049 Now that aside - and what really created its lasting impression on me was the images, this book for its size (and its big) has fewer words than you would expect and that is partly down I think to the intention of letting the pictures do the talking. And boy do they shout loud and clear. Both Blade Runner and 2049 have been hailed for their beautiful graphics and sets. Ridley Scott is considered the master of set design, and he's always been old school about his approach to building sets, using models and real props to bring his visions to life.

A fittingly beautiful book that lives up to its somewhat presumptuous title. Having collected a number of "Art of" books, this is easily one of the best that I've actually read. In addition to providing loads of concept art, set photos, and stills from the finished product; this book also features a load of cast and crew interviews that cover a fair bit of what went into the making of the movie without overloading the reader.

In 2017, we make a thrilling return to that world, a journey chronicled with captivating detail in this official visual guide to Blade Runner 2049, presented in an oversized, luxe, full-color format. In 1982's groundbreaking film Blade Runner, the world saw a vision of the future so bold and breathtaking that it still remains at the forefront of film. This is Luv (Sylvia Hoeks). She works for the head of the Wallace Corporation, Niander Wallace and she is ruthless. She is his soldier, his warrior. Wallace played by Jared Leto (interestingly, David Bowie had been earmarked for the role) is the zen-like inventor who has taken over and well-surpassed the technology developed by Tyrell in the creation of replicants. Now he is the most powerful man on the planet. The first weeks of the project were spent experimenting with the different visual effects that optical lenses, cine projectors, microfiche, card systems, etc. could produce. Even grapes and grapefruits, eyeballs and bone were dissected, magnified, photographed and scanned to create organic abstraction.

I was delighted to give a talk at a recent screening of Blade Runner 2049 hosted at the stunning The Conran Shop showroom in London’s Fulham Road in collaboration with Sony. I took this opportunity to dissect and discuss my favourite artefacts in the film. Here I share my opinions on the hidden narrative behind these objects, supplemented by fascinating facts gleaned from conversations with the movie’s Set Decorator Alessandra Querzola SDSA and Concept Artist Mike Hill. Given the technological, political and environmental news that has hit us over the last few months, the choice and design of many of these objects predict the future with more insight than one might realise.
