Following on from the previous Blade Runner: 2049 prequel, 2036: Nexus Dawn, we now have the second prequel short movie filling in the gaps between the original Blade Runner and its forthcoming sequel.
2048: Nowhere to Run is directed by Ridley Scott’s son, Jake, and stars that Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Skyfall), who looks a bit meeker than usual. Still, have a guess if there’s going to be some fighting in it.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
