Blade Runner fans are getting the follow-up they’ve long clamored for with this fall’s release of director Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. But first, the original film’s director wants them to do a little homework. Following in the footsteps of Alien Covenant, which was teased in advance through short films “Meet Walter” and “The Last Supper,” Blade Runner 2049 is being preceded by “2036: Nexus Dawn,” a short from Ridley Scott’s production company RSA Films and agency 3AM that helps sets the stage for the feature. Luke Scott directed from a concept by Ridley Scott and 3AM.
