Collider Video is happy to exclusively premiere a Blade Runner 2049 prequel short film in-world piece that explains what happened in the world of Blade Runner between the first movie, set in 2019, and this sequel, set in 2049.
The short film Nexus: 2036 takes place in the year 2036 and revolves around Jared Leto’s character, Niander Wallace. In this short film, directed by Luke Scott, Wallace introduces a new line of perfected replicants called the Nexus 9, seeking to get the prohibition on replicants repealed. This no doubt has serious ramifications that will be crucial to the plot of Blade Runner 2049.
