WithBlade Runner 2049now in theaters everywhere, I recently got the chance to talk with screenwritersMichael GreenandHampton Fancherabout the making of the sequel. During the conversation - which contains spoilers – they discussed the genesis of the project, how it was originally pitched as a prequel, what would have happened ifHarrison Fordsaid no, their thoughts on whether Deckard is a replicant, the evolution of the script, their thoughts on the nature of K (Ryan Gosling) and if he’s a one-off or one of many, the ending of the film, and a lot more. If you’re curious about the making of one of the best films of the year, I promise you’ll enjoy hearing what they had to say.
