Before Blade Runner: 2049 hits theaters in 2017, we’ve put together a video to get you ready for the Blade Runner sequel. The original Blade Runner movie from 1982 is a modern masterpiece, from the incredible Blade Runner Ridley Scott directing to the amazing cast of Blade Runner: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, and more. To get a better glimpse at the world of Blade Runner, explained in this video will be the origins of the Replicants, the events of the first Blade Runner movie, and the events on the road to 2049 that led to Blade Runner 2049. Director of Blade Runner 2049 Denis Villeneuve has created a worthy sequel to the original Ridley Scott Blade Runner, so to get ready for the new Blade Runner, we’ll look to the Blade Runner original and go back further to explain everything you need to know about Blade Runner.

In Blade Runner, Tyrell corporation created the iconic androids that have grown beyond Blade Runner: Replicants. A Replicant is completely identical to humans in every way, except a Blade Runner Replicant is stronger, faster, and smarter than humans. Blade Runner replicants also have a short life span. In the Blade Runner timeline, a Blade Runner replicant dies only four years from their inception date. Even with this limitation, Replicants were outlawed on the planet Earth in Blade Runner after a Replicant rebellion at the Tannhauser Gate. Replicants still find their way planetside, which is why there’s a test to determine a Replicant from a human in Blade Runner: Voight Kampff test. The Voight Kampff test is the only way to determine a Blade Runner Nexus 6 Replicant from a real human in 2019. The Voight-Kampff test measure empathy, and physical responses to questions about messed up scenarios. It’s an important tool for any Blade Runner, which begs the question: What the hell is a Blade Runner?

A Blade Runner is a cop who kills Replicants, basically. Blade Runners are members of an elite unit in the 2019 LAPD who identify, hunt down, and retire rogue Replicants. But as for the Blade Runner meaning, it doesn’t mean anything. To director Ridley Scott, Blade Runner just sounded cool. He discovered the Blade Runner name from an old unrelated novel called The Bladerunner, and the rest was history. Speaking of history, our Blade Runner Explainer will also give you a rundown of everything that happened in the original Blade Runner movie. Rick Deckard is called back to the Blade Runner unit for one last job: Taking down a group of Replicants who escaped to Earth. Leon, Pris, Zhora, Roy Batty, and even Rachel find themselves in Deckard’s blaster sights, and after a final showdown in the rain with Roy Batty, the story closes with a lot more questions. Is Deckard a Replicant? The Deckard replicant theory has never been officially confirmed, so we’ll have to see what if there’s any answer Blade Runner 2049 Deckard Replicant answer.

On the road to 2049, Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve released three Blade Runner short films from different directors, to explain the Blade Runner timeline between the two movies. The first short, Blade Runner 2022: Blackout, is a Blade Runner anime that explains the EMP blast that devastated the cyberpunk dystopia of Blade Runner. The second, Blade Runner 2036: Nexu Dawn, explores the Blade Runner Jared Leto character and how he wants to introduce a new generation of Replicants. The final short, Blade Runner 2048: Nowhere to Run stars Dave Bautista as a Replicant on the run, who will likely be hunted by Blade Runner Ryan Gosling at the beginning of Blade Runner 2049. Now that you’re all caught up with everything you need to know before Blade Runner 2049, you’re ready to experience the amazing new Denis Villeneuve Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
