  BLADE RUNNER 2049 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, set 30 years after the events of the original Blade Runner (1982). The story follows K, a replicant blade runner played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that could alter the balance between humans and replicants. As he investigates, K grapples with his own identity and purpose in a world where artificial beings struggle for autonomy. The film explores themes of humanity, memory, and artificial intelligence, set against a dystopian backdrop of environmental decay and corporate control, all while examining the complexities of existence. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "Director Denis Villeneuve's first choice for the role of Niander Wallace was David Bowie, but sadly, he passed away before filming began." 
    
  "The opening scene where 'K' (Ryan Gosling) confronts Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) mirrors an unused scene from the original Blade Runner (1982). In that scene, Deckard was supposed to shoot a Replicant and remove its artificial jaw, but the sequence was ultimately abandoned." 
    
  "To emphasize Joi's artificial nature, editor Joe Walker experimented with freezing her image for nine frames just before she responds to a question, creating a brief pause as if her processor was occupied. However, this approach felt forced, so it was dropped in favor of other visual cues, like her changing costumes."
