RELATED: 'Black Adam' Producer Teases Spinoffs & Long-Term Plans for the JSA: "We've Never Viewed This As Just a One-Off Movie" And then he explained why, when watching this initial director's cut of the Dwayne Johnson DC superhero (er, super-antihero) movie, he felt more confident than usual. "A lot of times when you see that early cut, it sets a table where you realize, 'Okay, now we understand how much work got to do,'" he said. When producer Hiram Garcia spoke with our own Steve Weintraub about his upcoming Red Notice, the subject of Black Adam's latest cut came up. I will not show it to anyone, the four hours, it doesn’t work." The first cut is always long and it’s a process and a lot of editing. It’s in all movies there’s always a long cut at the beginning. As Denis Villeneuve once said about his first four-hour cut of Blade Runner 2049, "You have to kill your darlings and I think four hours was too self-indulgent.
BLADE RUNNER 2049 3D OR NOT MOVIE
And typically with these early rough cuts, it barely feels like a watchable movie in any way. From assembling all of the raw footage into a first cut to tweaking shots frame-by-frame to adding in visual effects, the post-production process on a film can be rough, tough, and fraught. In some ways Denis Villeneuve's film has more soul than the original, beyond love, touching upon family, our need to be special and the importance of choice.It takes a long, long time to finish editing a movie.
Blade Runner 2049 does not necessarily ask any new questions as huge as the one the original film posed, but it does expound on what it means to be human, offering new wrinkles to that unanswerable question. The relationship between K and Joi is arguably far more developed than the one between Deckard and Rachael in the original film. Blade Runner 2049 is more serious in this regard, but in my opinion it is not without love. Hardly a box of laughs, Blade Runner had some enjoyable weirdness in large part thanks to Hauer's Roy Batty character. Rutger Hauer is right in that the sequel does not contain the same kind of quirkiness and humor that the original has. But I think it's not important what I think. It's not a character-driven movie and there's no humor, there's no love, there's no soul. But I'm not certain what the question was in the second Blade Runner. In many ways, Blade Runner wasn't about the replicants, it was about what does it mean to be human? It's like E.T. But for Rutger Hauer, Blade Runner 2049 does not live up to its predecessor in this regard, and falls short in others as he explained: Like all great science fiction, Blade Runner asks some fundamental questions and holds up a mirror to humanity to help us truly know ourselves. The film is hugely influential and is held up as one of cinema's greatest sci-fi achievements. The original Blade Runner took decades to be truly appreciated. But the world brought to life by Ridley Scott years ago is a fascinating one and one that can still be the soil from which compelling stories can grow. Rutger Hauer's argument while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter that something so beloved should be left alone is a common refrain among film fans fearful that cherished films will be ruined with ill-advised attempts at reboots or sequels.
A cynic would say that the film is necessary because it is a recognizable name with a loyal fanbase in a Hollywood climate obsessed with franchises and brand recognition. Beyond that, the actor seems to question the reason for the sequel's existence. If there is one thing Rutger Hauer hits the nail on the head about and one element of Blade Runner 2049 that is beyond reproach, it is that it does indeed look great. Don't lean with one elbow on the success of that was earned over 30 years in the underground. I just think if something is so beautiful, you should just leave it alone and make another film. It looks great but I struggle to see why that film was necessary.
