Denis Villeneuves kommande uppföljare till Ridley Scotts kultklassiska sci fi-mästerverk är på ingång (premiär i höst) och givetvis dyker det upp intervjuer med karln lite överallt. I en av de senaste pratstunderna valde Denis Villeneuve att prata lite mer om hur han ser på den eviga frågan om huruvida Deckard är en android eller inte.
"I was raised with the first movie, and then later on, I discovered what was the original dream of Ridley. So I really loved his version, too. The key to making this new movie was to be in between. Because the first movie was a story of a human being falling in love with a designed human being, an artificial human being. And the story of the second movie is a replicant that doesn't know he's a replicant, who slowly discovers his own identity. So, those are two different stories. I felt that the key to deal with that was in the novel of Philip K. Dick. Which was that, in the novel, that characters are doubting themselves. They are not sure if they are replicants or not. From time to time, the detectives are having to go and perform tests on themselves to make sure they are really humans. I love that. So I decided that the movie... Deckard, in the movie, is unsure, as we are, of what his identity is. Because I love that. I love mystery. That's an interesting thing to me. I really love that. Again, Harrison and Ridley are still arguing about that. If you put them in the same room, they don't agree. And they start to talk very loud when they do. It's very funny."
Hur ser du på Blade Runner? Är han en replicant eller en människa?
