Anime writer/director Shinichirō Watanabe, of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo fame, has released a new prequel short to director Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film with music by Flying Lotus.

All I can say is – “Color. Marvelous grim colors”.

The short anime, 15mins long takes place after Rick Deckard and the replicant Rachel go into hiding and leave Los Angeles and after the introduction of the new Nexus 8 replicant by the Waylan Corp. A new model with a natural lifespan.

Being that humanity is often repulsed or agitated by anything resembling itself (fact). Humans being forming Human Supremacy groups and behind using the replicant database to hunt and kill replicants.

In an organized move of self-preservation, rogue Nexus 8 models conspire to cause a nuclear incident resulting in a massive EMP that will plunge electronics inoperative n allowing them to destroy the magnetic backups to the replicant database.

The art studio did a fabulous job or animating this world that so many of us dream about inhabiting. Flying Lotus proves his worth by honoring the musical palate with some personal touches; however, nothing to memorable.

The events if this film us the cause of the replicant prohibition that was later repealed a decade later by the Wallace corporation.

This is the final prequel short before 2049 hits theaters. So you’ll just have to be patient n wait.

Let’s support this project and make it happen!

Synopsis:

When Eli starts talking to the wrong girl, he accidentally lands himself in a high stakes match against the arcade’s baddest racer. Winner gets to stay, but the loser leaves the arcade for good.

ABOUT

Wasteland: Tales from the Desert, Pt. 1″ is the first installment of the upcoming feature-length sci-fi film “Tales from the Desert”, a film showcasing five interconnected stories on a brutal desert dystopia known only as the Wasteland. Toxic cosmic rays bombard a haggard landscape where everyday folk struggle to eke out a living. Outlaws run amok in search of wealth, fame, or a way off of the violent world. Sky Marshals patrol the deserts with an iron fist, laboring to keep law and order for an aristocracy living on a moon high above. In a world of grit and despair, does anything ever change?

PLOT

Wes and Aubrey, two nomadic outlaws on a secret mission in the desert Wasteland, uncover a mysterious object worth more than either of them has ever known. They soon end up in a life-or-death stand-off over it, a stand-off made more complicated by the arrival of a rifle-toting stranger by the name of Edson Laramie. Who will leave the Wasteland alive?

“The film is a short derived from a feature-length film script. The short will be used to raise further investment money to produce the full feature.”
