I agree with everyone here.The movie looks way too clean.
Scott is a known shittalker. He says shit to get a rise out of other people. In this case, Ford. I mean, the movie could come out, and there could be completely no evidence that he is or isn't a replicant, and people would still come back to this line and said "Scott said it, so it is fact!" and I think that's stupid.

Hmm I wonder if that's also part of the actual score used in the video?

I've never seen the original Blade Runner but i'm thinking of watching it the evening before 2049 comes out and then go see that one a day later.

But are you going to watch the anime tie-in from the director of Cowboy Bebop?!

If that's the score, then that sounds perfectly Blade Runner-ish to me.
I wasn't even aware that was a thing.
Definitely catch it on the big screen if you can
Well now you are. Comes out next week!
He doesnt want his 2049 action sequences to be too noisy or audacious or, as he puts it, too Marvel. Instead, he says, I want to bring them down as close as possible to the original Blade Runner: more simple, more brutal. Which would make sense if the first film had been a hit and moviegoers had flocked to its chilly (and, yes, brutal) vision of a not-too-far-off future ravaged by ecological disaster and corporate corruption. But they didnt, and even after the subsequent decades of mainstream discovery, critical reassessment, and massive cultural influence, Blade Runner 2049 remains the rarest of Hollywood propositions: an R-rated, $150 million sequel to a movie that not a lot of people liked (or even fully understood) when it first came out.
Then, a hitch. In 2014, Scotts other directing commitment made it clear he wouldnt be able to helm 2049. Instead he became an executive producer, and Johnson and Kosove approached Villeneuve. At that point, the director was still not quite a household name: Hed spent the past decade making a series of unyielding dramas that were freeze-grab gorgeous but gut-wallopingly tough, like 2010s sweeping war drama Incendies (yikes), 2013s abducted-kid downer Prisoners (oof), and 2015s stark, almost suffocatingly tense drug-war thriller Sicario (hoo, boy). These were films in which violence acted as a pathogen, spreading through one persons body or an entire countrys history with devastating, long-term effectsespecially for the characters on the receiving end. And with last years Best Picturenominated hit Arrivalabout a linguist (Amy Adams) who communicates with a pair of octopus-like aliensVilleneuve proved himself to be one of the few filmmakers who can make sci-fi that feels at once fantastical and utterly real. Kosove, who also produced Prisoners, believed that duality was necessary for 2049. Blade Runner is always put in the sci-fi genre, but we really think its more of a noir movie, he says. And if you look at Prisoners and Sicario, you know there isnt a filmmaker today doing better noir than Denis.
In a nearby editing room, Villeneuve has just shown me a brief scene from 2049 in which a bloodied-up K pilots his spinner over a series of low, tightly packed houses, before heading toward a looming LAPD headquarters. Once inside, hes placed in a white room and subjected to a post-trauma stress test in which an unseen authority figure grills him. He then pays a visit to downtown LA, which is being pelted with snow. Even on a small screen, the sequence is absorbing, elegant, inscrutable. Its Blade Runner.
I don't really think the marketing is trash. How do you market something like this to appeal to the masses?Wired posted a pretty in-depth article of the film:

Pretty good read. I'm convinced they nailed the movie and that the marketing for this movie is trash.

150M Blade Runner sequel.
Man. I think this movie will need widespread acclaim to find success.
I read an article the other day that pegged it at 185.

Later, I asked Scott what it was about Villeneuve that made him comfortable handing over the keys to his beloved Blade Runner.
I wasnt, he says.
He wasnt?
No. But waiting for me to direct it would have only gotten in the way, and Denis was our best option, by far. He smiles, before adding cryptically, It takes one to see one.
Man, if this flops, I don't care. We got the sequel we wanted.Happy to see Villeneuve didn't skimp on atmospheric vista/cityscape pans. I'm not a super fan of his, but the man knows how to construct a scene and set some mood. This is the first footage that's made me hopeful. Unfortunately I'm fully expecting an underperforming slow thriller that the masses find too ponderous to really embrace which will make studios even more hesitant to hand out these kinds of budgets to these kinds of movies. But we'll see.
On another note, Ana de Armas is just.... whew, fam.
Have to admit that I love how blunt Scott is.

Well shove some unused footage of a unicorn from Legend into me and call me a replicant.
