See How the ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Team Created That Breathtaking Cameo
If you haven’t seen Blade Runner 2049 yet (dude, what is your deal), you’ll want to avoid reading any further.

Beyond that, not only does Blade Runner 2049 recreate — and elevate — the gorgeously dreary atmosphere of Scott’s original, but it also recreated one of its most fantastic elements.
