While I haven’t seen it yet, the new movie Blade Runner 2049 does look quite awesome. However, I will admit I was a bit disappointed when I saw the new spinner sans all blueness and police lights, to me there’s nothing cooler than a white and black (or blue in this case) speeding down the road lights flashing, sirens blaring. Nonetheless, Marius Herrmann has done an amazing job building the new spinner in LEGO form. I love the unusual use of cut fiber optic cable as lights on the front nacelles.
The builder also managed to take a scene from the trailer, and using Photoshop, remove the real spinner and person from the scene, replacing it with his own. The result looks fantastic and could easily be mistaken for a real life setup.
I’ve been a blade runner fan for the past 35 years, when I initially viewed it first run in theaters.
I would recommend seeing the film before making too many assumptions and writing articles.
I initially felt negative towards the film based on the trailers. After seeing the film, it’s quite brilliant! The designs makes sense, given the landscape has become even more harsh and bleak.
