A little more than a four-year lifespan.

Villeneuve said the cut was “quite strong” but has said he would not show it to anyone. We need to petition and change his mind. We know there are more scenes with Ana. And we know there are more scenes with Wood Harris (who played Avon in The Wire and plays Nandez in this). And likely many other scenes we can barely imagine. Let’s push this into existence. It may take a while. But if you think it’s not possible, think of another great film that was already a pretty good length but had lots of rumored great stuff on the cutting room floor. It took over two decades but fans of Apocalypse Now finally got Apocalypse Now Redux and could see how many things were rich and interesting. So, let’s petition for the 4 hour cut!

Reusing "Tears in the Rain" was a huge plus and this sequel actually built upon the Blade Runner universe.

The hair took me longer than I would like to admit.

Edit: Dam guys tysm!! So many people asked me what my costume was and I said “I’m Racheal” and they said “Nice to meet you Rachael, I’m X” 🤣 I knew this SR wouldn’t disappoint.

Given that his eyes have the same glow.

With Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto. She's around 57 years old at the time. She's always so pretty to me all these years.

I did this shoot in 2019 at Bladerunner filming locations. The Bradbury Building and Union Station. We got kicked out of the Bradbury Building for going upstairs, though an employee complimented my cosplay first which was nice lol.

Her collar, sleeve hem, and all the square/diamond accents are all real snakeskin, which I hand sewed on. I thought it was kind of ironic they chose this. (This is why I love costume design). The majority of the suit is made of a metallic brocade type fabric, which I walked alone to get in a sketchy part of LA.

I modified a real 1940’s pattern to get the right silhouette, this was pretty early in my sewing journey. This was the second time I had ever sewn sleeves I think, or maybe even the first.

Even the heels I wanted to get accurate, they are black suede with leather toe tips which I added on.

People always think I wore a wig, but no, this is my real hair with a lot of bobby pins and a vintage hair net roll tube type of contraption to keep the bangs that shape.

Since I graduated I've been living in a never ending loop of watching my favorite dystopian cyberpunk tech-pocalyptic movies over and over again because I can't get enough of the aesthetics. Back when I was in university and I'd watch these movies on repeat it was an incredible source of escapism. Now, I cannot get over how on-the-nose the once shrewdly crafted story beats are in terms of their social commentary value.
