If there\u2019s one thing that we\u00a0do<\/i>\u00a0know definitively about\u00a0Blade Runner 2049\u00a0<\/i>\u2014 the top\u00a0<\/b>secret sequel to Ridley Scott\u2019s 1982 sci-fi classic \u2014 it\u2019s that the filmmakers seriously sweat the small stuff. \u201cHere\u2019s a perfect example of working on this film,\u201d says star Ryan Gosling of the scene pictured below. \u201cIn the script, my character walks up to a guy sitting at a desk, and we have a very small exchange. It\u2019s probably a quarter of a page of the screenplay. I show up at set that day and\u00a0that\u00a0<\/i>is what they built.\u201d He laughs. \u201cI said to [director Denis Villeneuve], \u2018You built all this for just one scene? It takes up an entire stage!\u2019 And he said, \u2018Yes, well, the scene is in the movie, right?\u2019 It didn\u2019t matter if it was a quarter of a page or an important set piece \u2014 everything was treated with the same level of detail and importance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For Villeneuve, doing it any other way was never an option. \u201cIt\u2019s not the amount of time [on screen] but the impact of the moment,\u201d he says. Every background player, even if seen only briefly, mattered. \u201cThis film had the longest and toughest casting I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d the director says. \u201cEach extra had to be chosen specifically for their look\u2014we had to get the right faces to bring the right atmosphere to the right scene. Everything \u2014 the sets, the lights, the props, the vehicles \u2014 they are all saying something about our future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future in 2049 \u2014 30 years after the events depicted in the original\u00a0Blade Runner\u00a0<\/i>\u2014 has not gotten any less grim. Gosling plays an LAPD officer named K, who unearths a secret that has the potential to unravel what\u2019s left of society and leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former blade runner who used to hunt down replicants and has been missing for three decades. And that\u2019s nothing compared with what\u2019s happening to planet Earth. \u201cThe climate has gone berserk and the ecosystem has collapsed and the ocean has risen,\u201d Villeneuve says. \u201cThere are a lot of refugees trying to survive on the West Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n

This change in weather has nudged the cool blue and pink tones of Scott\u2019s original into a wider and more golden palette. \u201cThe presence of the winter brings more charcoal and there\u2019s sparks of color,\u201d says Villeneuve. \u201cThe yellow is something I can\u2019t talk about, but\u2026it\u2019s a very important color.\u201d<\/p>\n

Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins, who previously teamed up on\u00a0Prisoners<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Sicario<\/i>, have similar tastes and aesthetics. \u201cIt\u2019s important when you work with a director that you see things in a similar way,\u201d says Deakins, who\u2019s been nominated 13 times for an Oscar but has yet to win. While Villeneuve has a recent sci-fi credit (Arrival<\/i>), this is Deakins\u2019 first trip to a vastly different world. \u201cI love science fiction; I don\u2019t like science\u00a0fantasy<\/i>, and there\u2019s a big difference,\u201d Deakins says. \u201cI like the futurism of science fiction and the idea that maybe this world could exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Villeneuve, for his part, gives the lion\u2019s share of credit for\u00a02049<\/i>\u2019s harmonious atmosphere to Gosling, who steps into some Ford-size shoes as leading man. \u201cRyan was my muse,\u201d Villeneuve says. \u201cHe has the movie on his shoulders. He\u2019s in almost every single frame. To see his smile in the morning \u2014 and when Ryan Gosling smiles, the camera melts \u2014 and his goodwill and strength just meant the world to me. I owe him a lot. This movie owes him a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Gosling himself, the experience of being on the film and working with Villeneuve, Deakins, Ford, and executive producer Scott is one that continues to wow him. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe it happened,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m still not sure I\u2019m not on some incredibly elaborate episode of\u00a0Punk\u2019d<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n
