After reporting back to Selwyn on the progress of her investigation, Ash survived a near-fatal attempt on her life and was hospitalized, after members of the Replicant underground shot down her Spinner. Subsequently, the NYPD learned of Ash’s cybernetic back-brace and promptly suspended her indefinitely from active duty.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ash decided to continue investigating independently and went to the Tyrell Corporation in search of answers. There, she discovered Selwyn’s wife had actually died years earlier and that Isobel was in fact a Replicant gifted to him by Eldon Tyrell in an attempt to assuage his friend’s grief and to protect Cleo from knowing the truth. Accepting the offer of a new Spinner, Ash set out to track down the missing pair, whom Ash soon learned were attempting to escape the city.

Download or read book Blade Runner 2049 The Storyboards written by Sam Hudecki and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blade Runner 2049: The Storyboards is the only book presenting all of the storyboards from the film. In 1982, film audiences experienced a bold new depiction of the future with the ground-breaking Blade Runner, which was fundamental in establishing the still-vibrant Cyberpunk movement. With the critically acclaimed Blade Runner 2049, director Denis Villeneuve further explored that unique "future noir" world, this time following a young blade runner whose discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former blade runner Rick Deckard--the protagonist of the first film--who's been missing for some thirty years. Blade Runner 2049: The Storyboards is a celebration of the rarely-seen artwork that was key in building the harsh, yet strangely beautiful, environments in the film. This remarkable book presents a fresh look at Blade Runner 2049, including scenes that were later altered or cut out entirely, along with new, in-context commentary from storyboard artists Sam Hudecki and Darryl Henley throughout.

Download or read book Future Noir The Making of Blade Runner written by Paul M. Sammon and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti have know all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling SF novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamerous inside account of how the work of SF's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.
