VIDEO – Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the first trailer of the sequel to the cult film made 35 years ago by Ridley Scott is very encrypted. Le Figaro provides a decoding, with some justification, that illuminates a number of areas of shadow.
The first trailer for the Blade Runner 2049 produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Denis Villeneuve looks like a strange origami. Of those that dropped the character of Gaff (Edward James Olmos), the little cop mangy in the footsteps of Deckard (Harrison Ford) in the first film was released in 1982.
only a 1-minute 46, the director of Sicario hook the fans of the masterpiece of the 80′s by offering them a kind of enigma multi-sensory, with several levels of reading.
It is first transported in the atmosphere sticky and futuristic the first Blade Runner with the soundtrack. Very cleverly, the trailer unveiled by Warner starts with a bang of a gong, deaf and cavernosum, followed by the hiss and the hustle and bustle of a dump truck in action. The smog is still there. Neon lights also. Sounds familiar to all those who have already seen the first feature length film adapted from the novel by Philip K. Dick (Do Androïds dream about electric chips?, which literally translates to do Androids dream of electric sheep?, published in 1966).
Mac putty to the Humphrey Bogart
of course, Denis Villeneuve has been very careful to pay homage to the soundscape of a very special (and very innovative) that is installed once by the composer Vangelis. And then, there are also quite dexterous, the filmmaker takes a replica entry in the legend uttered by Rick Deckard, the hunter of Replicants, these robots are organic that are more of a clone, and that it was with memories of artificial: “Replicants are like any other machine. They are either a benefit or a risk. If they are a benefit, they are not my problem.”
In 35 years, this sentence spoken by Harrison Ford within the Tyrell Corporation has become heavy with meaning. In the final version intended by Ridley Scott released in 1996, it is known as the hunter of Replicants Deckard was actually a replicant. So there it is, that resumes the plot of the second film. It is this new idea that leaves the film…
And the new hero, named K (as Franz Kafka?), played by Ryan Gosling, coming out of the shadows just after the end of the sentence. Ensconced in his mac putty to the Humphrey Bogart, hands in pockets, his figure looks like Harrison Ford. Also ahead in this Los Angeles futuristic, sprawling and nightmarish portrayed by Ridley Scott (for his reference to the Metropolis by Frits Lang). The synopsis introductory shows: “Los Angeles 2049. The officer K of the LAPD, a Blade Runner, leads an investigation that moves towards Rick Deckard disappeared for thirty years.”
in the footsteps of Deckard
The result of the trailer then dips the viewer in a kind of dream, post-apocalyptic, ruby-red. The character of Gosling has gone on the traces of Deckard. He advances cautiously in a sand desert , and crosses the head of a gigantic statue robotic fallen to the earth. Which is not without recalling the title of the novel Dick’s do androids dream of electric sheep?…
in the Face of a skyscraper dusty popped up out of nowhere, Gosling, mark a stopping time. And then climbs the steps and then pushes the entrance door. Past the lobby huge, the music will resume from the importance. A close-up on a piano. The hand of the character which is close to a key… Like to remind that in the first film Harrison Ford rêvassait in front of his own piano, looking at photos of his past. A flash of nostalgic, which is interrupted when we hear the voice of Harrison Ford in his seventies, saying: “I had a job in the time. And I was pretty good!”
Harrison Ford comes out of the shadows, threatening with the gun iconic arms. Gosling turns around slowly and replied: “things were simpler at the time…” We don’t know more. But it is all the same very impressed with this little piece of history devilishly intriguing…
