There’s a huge gap between the first “Blade Runner” and the upcoming “Blade Runner 2049.” Luckily, viewers will get a glimpse at some key events.
A new short, titled “2036: Nexus Dawn,” was put on YouTube Tuesday, as a Collider exclusive. It takes place in the years before “2049” but after the first “Blade Runner,” which took place in 2019.
In the seconds before the short begins, “2049” director Denis Villeneuve explains that he asked some of his artist friends to film the stories that fill in the 30-year gap. One of these friends was Luke Scott (“Morgan”), who directed “2036.”
