Collider has debuted the first of three Blade Runner 2049 shorts which will fill in the gaps between Ridley Scott's original and Denis Villeneuve's sequel.
This first one is titled "2036: Nexus Dawn", and introduces Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), who claims to have designed a "perfected" model of replicant he calls the Nexus 9. It seems the events of the first film led to replicants being outlawed in 2023, which Wallace is attempting to have repealed.
Check it out below, and keep an eye out for the next short very soon.
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
Blade Runner 2049 opens on October 6, 2017.
