\"\"Yesterday<\/a> we passed along a quote from director Ridley Scott describing a scene he had in mind for his currently-being-written Blade Runner 2<\/strong>. In an interview with Collider<\/a>, the director sketched out the following image –<\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be a vast farmland where there are no hedges or anything in sight, and it\u2019s flat like the plains of\u2026 Kansas, where you can see for miles. And it\u2019s dirt, but it\u2019s being raked. On the horizon is a combine harvester which is futuristic with klieg lights, \u2018cause it\u2019s dawn. The harvester is as big as six houses.<\/p>\n

In the foreground is a small white clapboard hut with a porch as if it was from Grapes of Wrath. From the right comes a car, coming in about six feet off the ground being chased by a dog. And that\u2019s the end of it, I\u2019m not gonna tell you anything else.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, it turns out that this is an image that the director has actually had since he was developing the first Blade Runner<\/strong> film back in the early 1980s. Bleeding Cool<\/a> was able to dig out the original citation in the Dangerous Days documentary found on the big 5-disc Blade Runner DVD\/Blu-ray set. Storyboards for the sequence can also be found in the book Shot-By-Shot<\/em>. And if you’re interested in seeing how those storyboards, someone has taken and animated them.<\/p>\n
