What's left behind the scenes
- In the early stages of the project, it was assumed that Ridley Scott would direct the film. Shortly before filming began, however, Scott announced that he would not be directing and would remain on the project only as a producer. No reason was given for this decision.
- In September 2016, Jared Leto spent about two weeks filming his scenes in Budapest.
- The first science fiction film shot by cinematographer Roger Deakins after the dystopian film «1984».
- Sylvia Hoeks became the second Dutch actress to appear in films in the franchise. Rutger Hauer played the replicant Roy Batty in «Blade Runner» (1982).
- Emily Blunt turned down an offer to star in the film due to her pregnancy.
- Denis Villeneuve spent the summer and autumn of 2016 filming in Budapest.
- Ridley Scott, who directed the original «Blade Runner» (1982), is an executive producer of the film.
- Director Denis Villeneuve asked several directors to film three short films that would explain some of the plot lines. As a result, the following were created: one anime («Blade Runner Black Out 2022») and two short films («2036: Nexus Dawn», "Blade Runner 2049 – 2048: No Place to Run").
- According to actor Lennie James, this was the most secretive project he has ever been involved in: «When I was offered the job, I asked for a script. I was sent 20 pages of events leading up to my character’s appearance and 20 pages after my character had already set sail. The text was in an app, and I couldn’t open it on another device. I couldn’t take a screenshot. I couldn’t save it. I was warned: „You have 36 hours, then the text will disappear“. When I made the decision to film, I was sent the entire script. I worked with it. But every day, I was given access to specific pages that I worked on that day, and I had to sign for it. And I couldn’t leave home without being locked out. And then, filming ended, access was opened, I drove home and was happy — I had the whole script in my hands. Nine hours later, the entire script mysteriously vanished from my iPad».
- A worker died on set after falling from a platform.
- To pass the emotion test, K says: «A blood-black nothingness began to coil around the system of cells linked within, cells linked within, cells in a single stem and distinctly, horribly against the darkness a white fountain ascended.» This phrase is taken from Vladimir Nabokov's novel «Pale Fire», written in English and published in 1962.
- Originally, the character of Niander Wallace was written for David Bowie. But in January 2016, David passed away, and ultimately, the role was played by Jared Leto.
- Above the entrance to the building where K is trying to find Deckard, there is an inverted inscription 'Haeng Un', which translates from Korean as 'Good luck'. The language spoken in the 'Blade Runner' universe is a blend of many languages, including Korean.
- In the office scene, behind Madam, on the windowsill, there is an empty glass. In the next shot, she places a full glass on the table.
- Shortly before filming began, Ridley Scott announced that he would not be directing, but would remain on the project only as a producer.

I couldn't save it. I was warned: 'You have 36 hours, then the text will disappear.' When I made the decision to star in it, I was sent the entire script. I worked with it. But every day, I was given access to specific pages, which I worked on that particular day, and I had to sign for it. And I couldn’t leave home without my access being revoked. And then, filming ended, access was granted, I was driving home and rejoicing – I had the whole script in my hands. Nine hours later, the entire script vanished from my iPad in the most mysterious way.”
- Initially, the character of Niander Wallace was written for David Bowie.
- To make Ana de Armas’s character appear as artificial as possible, editor Joe Walker initially ‘slowed down’ her footage by nine frames before Joi responded to any question. But then Walker abandoned this idea, deciding that her artificiality was perfectly emphasized by the rapid change of outfits and transparency.
- At the direction of production designer Dennis Gassner, Wallace’s (Jared Leto) residence is reminiscent of the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple.
- For filming in Las Vegas, director Denis Villeneuve enlisted the help of Syd Mead, who gained wide recognition for creating concept art for 'Blade Runner.' Villeneuve asked him to create Las Vegas existing in the same universe.
- It was especially difficult to stage the fight between Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford's characters, as it involved two fighting actors and numerous dancing holograms, and their movements had to be coordinated. After months of work, Denis Villeneuve decided that the whole thing looked like a vaudeville show, and the scene almost got cut from the film. But Joe Walker took over. He re-edited the scene to make it more dynamic, removed the musical accompaniment, and cut out almost all of the holograms.
- To more accurately portray the blind character, Jared Leto wore opaque contact lenses.
- The scenes in the main character’s dwelling were filmed in a steam-filled studio for 4 weeks. This affected the operation of electronic equipment, and the dwelling's set had to be ventilated to lower the humidity.
- The film includes 1,150 visual effects created using digital technology, but whenever possible, director Denis Villeneuve filmed in real sets and on location to ensure authenticity. For example, the solar energy collectors at the beginning of the film were shot on location near Seville, Spain. The farm belonging to Dave Bautista’s character was filmed in Iceland. Mexico City was used for the hazy shots of Los Angeles in the distance. The orphanage surrounded by wastelands was filmed mostly on a miniature set. Filming often took place in Budapest, where one set was only a few steps from another, and city panoramas were visible through the windows.
- Above the entrance to the building where K is trying to find Deckard, there is an inverted inscription 행운, which translates to "Good luck" from Korean.
- The special effects company worked for a whole year to ensure that Rachel's appearance was exactly the same as it was 35 years ago in the film "Blade Runner".
- At the time of filming, Sean Young was 57 years old, so she did not appear in the film herself. Her character, Rachel, was shown in a photograph and in footage from Ridley Scott's original film, and a stunt double played her. Young came to the set to help the stunt double recreate her gait and mannerisms.
- During the filming of the fight scene, Harrison Ford accidentally hit Ryan Gosling in the face, and as an apology, invited him for a drink of whiskey.
- In the scene in the office behind Madam, an empty glass stands on the windowsill. In the next shot, she places a full glass on the table.

But every day I was given access to specific pages I was to work on that day, and I had to sign for it. And I couldn’t leave home without losing access. And then, filming finished, access was granted, I drove home and was happy – I had the entire script in my hands. Nine hours later, the entire script vanished from my iPad in the most mysterious way.”
