Official Runtime For Blade Runner 2049

Official Runtime For Blade Runner 2049 Confirmed.


Recently Director Dennis Villeneuve talked to Collider News about the runtime for Blade Runner 2049. He said that the rough cut of the film is about 2 hours and 30 minutes, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Today however, it has been confirmed that Blade Runner 2049 will be 2 hours and 32 minutes without credits. Now I know this is only a two minute difference, but it gives us Blade Runner fans, topic for discussion. Blade Runner The Final Cut was just under 2 hours long, so why is the new movie 30 minutes longer than the original?

Dennis Villeneuve discussed that there has been a 30 year gap from the original to the new movie. With such a gap, he may have to inform the audience on where exactly this world is in the new movie, how there are still Blade Runners and so on and so forth. I've seen a fiar share of Villeneuve's films and the last one I saw was "Arrival" with Amy Adams. That movie also clocked in at just under 2 hours, so why other than just catching up the audience, is the new movie so long? Villeneuve himself has stated that Blade Runner 2049 is a passion project and he was greatly influenced by the original film.

Perhaps he has gotten fully invested into the world and the characters of his new movie, which I'm quite alright with. Villeneuve has proven time and time again that he put every ounce of passion into his films. So therefore he wants to make sure he gets it right in his eyes, but also the audiences since the original Blade Runner has become a cult classic. Blade Runner is honestly my second favorite film of all time, just under "Pulp Fiction" I've also only seen the final cut and just, everything in the film speaks to me. Pulp Fiction is my go to movie for full enjoyment of movie making, and Blade Runner is also that, but very intellectual while also leaving unanswered questions which you're okay with. All in all I think Blade Runner 2049 will fly by while you watch it because of how good it's going to be and it'll probably leave you wanting more. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this blog and please comment and share if you liked this topic I discussed.
