Roger Deakins will shoot Blade Runner 2 - so it'll be even prettier than the original

I'm going to come out and say it, I'm just not that into Blade Runner.

Ridley Scott's 1982 flick might be one of the most influential sci-fi films around, especially in its design and the themes of humanity vs androids which it explore, but as a film I've always found it a bit dull and lifeless. Inert, like a lot of Ridley Scott's filmography.But even I can't argue against the sheer aesthetic achievement of the feature, with massive sets bristling with detail and the kind of world-building Scott does like no one else. And a big part of that was the incredible lensing by cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth, filled with deep shadows, tactile lens flares and a neon dream haze that remains one of the most arresting films ever shot.
