In 2022, an EMP detonation has caused a global blackout that has massive, destructive implications all over the world. Directed by Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo's Shinichiro Watanabe, Blade Runner Black Out 2022 is a new and highly-anticipated animated short which serves as a prologue for the upcoming feature film Blade Runner 2049.

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos.

From executive producer Ridley Scott and director Denis Villeneuve, #BladeRunner2049 stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, MacKenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, Carla Juri, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto.

    Just by watching this I can tell that Watanabe is fan of Blade Runner, he respects the atmosphere and setting.

    The security guards looked just like Rebel Alliance soldiers

    Goodbye Rutger Hauer. You were a unique and one-of-a-kind actor. You showed us the future and it was old.

    I wish Black Lotus was this style rather than cgi.

    I read the original script for this story. In that script the girl's "brain" was backed up on a hard drive by Ren (the human that worked with them to carry out the blackout). Ren was moved by how the girl replicant had a thirst for life. And he wanted to make sure that if things went wrong during the mission, that she could come back to live again. Iggy, the other replicant, wasn't told about Ren's plant tho. So he thought that the girl had indeed died.

  • @steezeRNG
    This is what Black Lotus shoud've been.
  • @WoWGirl6
    I love that line, "no heaven or hell for us, this world is all we got" Which makes them cherish life more than the average human being.
  • @siphonophores
    I love how the aesthetic, character design and everything feels and looks like it's of Akira, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in a shell. Great animes that got their inspirations from Blade Runner.
  • @RoXo1987
    All replicants created before the Black Out now have a much better chance to blend in with humans as long as the are missing their right eye (which contains their serial number), that's why Iggy rips his own eye at the end. Now that explains the line from Officer K (Ryan Gosling) to Deckard "Things were simpler then"...

    Anyone else notice the mugshot of the young version of Dave Bautista's character from Blade Runner 2049, Morton Sapper? 4:08
