It’s not often you get the chance to work with a true visionary and Denis Villeneuve most certainly is that. The weight of expectation and legacy with this project simply added to the excitement of the challenge. Denis asked us to imagine a world where digital technology no longer exists and therefore conceive a new kind of tech. One that is more physical, organic and grounded in this dystopian world whilst also reflecting the characters and their divide within society. The stunning visual sequences that inform the plot and character development in 2049 have inspired countless pieces of fan art. To show their appreciation, talented admirers all over the world have taken Blade Runner's fictional world to the next level, employing their artistic abilities to expound upon the universe first envisioned by Ridley Scott.

This book is for the fan- the images are crisp clear and huge! Its as if you have the film on pause and I think who ever put this book together it was a labour of love. 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.

Again, the city plays a major role in establishing the vibe and style of 2049. Skyscrapers are everywhere, creating interesting lines and architectural elements to keep viewers visually engaged throughout the film. The F582 or ‘Ribbon Chair’ was designed in the 1960s by Pierre Paulin for Artifort. Paulin’s designs are distinctive in their striking sculptural shapes and earned him many prizes worldwide. 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”.

The Memory Orb is my favourite piece of kit in the movie. This piece of wizardry is used to design memories for Wallace’s replicants, to help create structure for their personalities. These memories are created by a singular genius artist – Dr. Ana Stelline, a kind of virtual 3D artist using the Memory Orb to manipulate holographic stories which are then coded into replicants to make them feel more ‘real’ or human. “There’s a little of every artist in their work” she says.

What stands out to me - and I suspected this from having watched the movie a few times - is that this movie was made with a staggering amount of practical effects. Miniatures and detailed sets are used for virtually every part of the movie. The miniatures are all over this book, and they're incredible. I can't imagine how much of the budget went straight to Weta Workshop, but it seems like they earned every bit of it considering a huge chunk of this movie would not work without them. 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. The statues in collapsed Las Vegas The sculpture garden of the red desert of Las Vegas in Blade Runner 2049In 2049 we find little evidence of the kind of high-tech gadgetry and interactive, holographic computer screens that we have become used to in sci-fi films. Instead we find what Set Decorator Querzola described to me as a “sidebar” view of the future. Villeneuve and the production team wanted to create a future which extended the vision of the first movie and they found a grounding in this vision by imagining how the year 2049 might look if Steve Jobs and Apple hadn’t existed.
