WATCH: Blade Runner 2049: The final prequel short film

By Alexander McMahon.

“Blade Runner 2022: Lights Out” plays an integral role in explaining an important part of Blade Runner history.

The third short film prequel is an anime from Cowboy Bebop director Shinichirô Watanabe – and as expected, it is stunning.

It tells you how the war started, and it is the perfect segway into the Denis Villeneuve directed Blade Runner 2049, the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s ground-breaking original film.

It opens tomorrow (Oct 5th) so now is the perfect time to whet your appetite!
