大家还记得，由雷德利·斯科特监制，丹尼斯·维纶纽瓦执导，罗杰·迪金斯摄影，哈里森·福特、瑞恩·高斯林、罗宾·怀特、杰拉德·莱托等主演的R级科幻片《银翼杀手2049》算是赛博朋克系列的新风向标。

1.自1982年的《银翼杀手》席卷大银幕后，粉丝们因为纠结于哈里森·福特所扮演的瑞克·戴克，到底是人类还是复制人的问题而分成两派。这也是电影留给观众的一个问题，尽管导演雷德利·斯科特、（哈里森）福特和其他所有人都有自己的看法。随着续集的到来，关于戴克真实身份的问题必将愈演愈烈。丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦如是说，这个谜题将会在电影中被揭开，而且他关注的其中一点则是，续集中提到的任何一个答案，都有可能重新让我们认识第一部的故事。“我不得不说我爱神秘的东西。我爱看不清的谜团。我爱不确定因素。我只想和粉丝们说，我们会好好处理这些谜题的，我会好好'解答'疑问的。”

Ever since Blade Runner(1982) hit theaters, there has been a divide among its fans about whether or not Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard is a human or a replicant. It's a question that the film leaves up to the viewer, though director Ridley Scott, Ford, and everyone else has chimed in with their own thoughts on the subject. With the sequel, there will certainly be more fuel on the fire of Deckard's true identity. Denis Villenenve did go on to say that the mystery will be something they address in the film and that re-contextualizing the original film with any answers they present in the sequel is a concern of his: "The thing I must say is that I love mystery. I love shadows. I love doubts. I would just want to say to the fans that we will take care of that mystery. I will take care of it."

2.最初，在这部电影的早期发展阶段，本来是由雷德利·斯科特为《银翼杀手2049》执导。在电影接近前期制作的时候，斯科特宣布他不再执导但是会以监制的身份参与这部电影的制作。斯科特并没有给出他放弃执导的具体细节。说来也怪，2014年8月的一篇报道说道，《异形：契约》（2017）——《普罗米修斯》（2012）的续集，也行会因为斯科特计划在《火星救援》（2015）后执导《银翼杀手2049》（2017）而推迟，当时《火星救援》正在制作。但是现在，看起来恰好相反，斯科特对《异形:契约》（2017）的承诺也许正是迫使他放弃执导《银翼杀手2049》（2017）的原因。

Originally, at the early development stage of the project, Ridley Scott was set to take on the directorial duties of Blade Runner 2049 (2017). By the time the movie was getting close to pre-production, Scott announced he would no longer take the helm but would stay involved as a producer. Specifics weren't given by Scott on why he dropped out of directing the film. Oddly enough, a report came out in August 2014 that Alien: Covenant (2017), a sequel to Prometheus (2012), may be getting delayed because Scott planned to helm Blade Runner 2049 (2017) after The Martian (2015), which was in production at the time. But now, it looks to be the other way around, and Scott's commitment to Alien: Covenant (2017) may have forced him to step away from directing Blade Runner 2049 (2017).

3.丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦指出，他完全意识到自己所面临的压力有多巨大，以及原版的铁杆粉丝对新电影前景的看法如何。“我知道每一个粉丝都会带个棒球棍去电影院。我理解也尊重这样的做法，我知道是因为这就是艺术。艺术很冒险，而我不得不去冒这个险。这可能会成为我人生中最大的一个挑战，但是我能接受。对于我来说，我感到很兴奋…这非常激动人心，我深被启发。我10岁的时候就梦想着做科幻（电影）了，我也拒绝了很多电影的续集。但是我不能拒绝《银翼杀手2049》（2017年上映）。我太爱这部电影了，所以我就说：'好，我会拍这部电影，然后竭尽全力的将它做到最好。'”

Denis Villeneuve noted that he's fully aware of the immense pressure he's under, and how hardcore fans of the original view the prospect of a new film: "I know that every single fan will walk into the theater with a baseball bat. I'm aware of that and I respect that, and it's okay with me because it's art. Art is risk, and I have to take risks. It's gonna be the biggest risk of my life but I'm okay with that. For me it's very exciting... It's just so inspiring, I'm so inspired. I've been dreaming to do sci-fi since I was 10 years old, and I said 'no' to a lot of sequels. I couldn't say 'no' to Blade Runner 2049 (2017). I love it too much, so I said, 'Alright, I will do it and give everything I have to

make it great.'"

4.最初，丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦是反对《银翼杀手》（1982）续集的概念的，因为他觉得这可能违反了原版的故事。但在读了剧本之后，他和哈里森·福特都觉得这是他们读过“最好的之一”的剧本，他着手于该项目，并称福特已经参与其中。“说实话，在我来之前，哈里森就加入了这部续集项目中。他从雷德利（斯科特）的那个时候就深深的被这部电影所吸引。我认识他之后了解到，他绝对是我遇到的人中最好的那个，同时也是我一直最喜爱的演员之一，所以对我来说，这次合作很有意思。”

Initially, Denis Villeneuve was against the concept of a sequel to Blade Runner (1982), as he felt it could violate the original. But after reading the script, which he and Harrison Ford have described as "one of the best" they have ever read, he committed to the project, stating that Ford was already involved at that point: "To be very honest with you, Harrison was part of the project before I arrived. He was attached to it right from the start with Ridley [Scott]. I met him and he's honestly one of the nicest human beings I've met and is one of my favorite actors of all time, so for me it's a lot of pleasure."

5.随着雷德利·斯科特多年来对《银翼杀手》（1982）的剪辑，对于询问哪个版本最能当作续集的”教科书”来说，是很正常的。丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦暗示到后续不一定会是我们所想的那么简单。“这部电影将是独立的，同时也会和原版有一些联系。我唯一能说的是，影响我的是初减版，那个雷德利并不喜欢的初版。那是我第一次认识《银翼杀手》，而我也为之着迷了好多年，接着我不得不说我很感激最后的剪辑，也就是“最终版”。在这么多不同的版本中，最启发我的还是第一版和最后一版。”

With Ridley Scott having toyed with the edit of Blade Runner (1982) over the years, it is fair to ask which version would be considered "canon" going into the sequel. Denis Villeneuve replied by insinuating the follow-up may not be as much of a straightforward sequel as we thought: "The movie will be autonomous and at the same time there will be some link. The only thing I can say is I was raised with the original cut, the original version that Ridley doesn't like. That's the Blade Runner that I was introduced to at the beginning and that I loved for years, and then I must say that I appreciated the very last cut, the 'Final Cut' version. So between all the different cuts, for me it's the first and the very last that I'm more inspired by."

6.杰拉德·莱托是让-马克·瓦雷介绍的，他是丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦的好朋友，也是达拉斯买家俱乐部（2013）的导演。

Jared Leto was introduced to Denis Villeneuve by his close friend Jean-Marc Vallée, who had directed Leto in Dallas Buyers Club (2013).

9.续集发生在《银翼杀手》（1982）的30年后，讲述了新的银翼杀手警察K（瑞恩·高斯林饰演）寻找消失的瑞克·戴克（哈里森·福特饰演）的故事。在之前哈里森·福特的又一科幻片《星球大战：原力觉醒》（2015）中，同样也是发生在《星球大战：绝地归来》（1983）剧情的30年后。
