The Art of Blade Runner 2049

If like me you're heavily into all things Sci-Fi then be sure to consider adding this gorgeous book to your coffee table pile. The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049 is available at the end of Oct and is 224 pages of eye catching on set photos, behind the scenes images and set design content all centered around the visual look and style of the movie, not to mention some of the art from the incredibly talented team of designers and visual artists that collaborated their ideas and impressions in bringing the movie to life.
While Blade Runner 2049 has appeared to have struggled with a convincing Box office run of late there will be no denying it'll find its home as a cult favorite among a hardcore sci-fi audience and fans of the original movie. Judging by the Amazon reviews, the standard edition of the book (shown below) appears to offer more value for money over the Special Edition version.

 

Visual artists create the initial building blocks of what the environments, style and visual effects should look like, Blade Runner 2049 employed an impressive art team which included talented artists like George Hull who was employed at Lucasfilm ILM as Lead Visual Effects Art Director and Victor Martinez who has previously worked on Avatar, Terminator Salvation and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
Emmanuel Shiu's, an artist who also worked on films such as Christmas Carol and After Earth also contributed art to the film - more of his work can be seen on his official website here
