Ridley Scott: Blade Runner 2049 Was 'Too Long'
"Ridley Scott believes Blade Runner 2049 flopped at the box office because the movie was simply too long. The sci-fi sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve received great reviews but has made just $258 million worldwide on a reported budget of up to $185 million. The movie clocked in at a lengthy 163 minutes, though an early cut was even longer, running for 4 hours ."
"Speaking to Al Arabiya , Blade Runner 2049 producer Ridley Scott gave his typically terse breakdown of why the sequel flopped. “It’s slow. It’s slow. Long. Too long. I would have taken out half an hour,” Scott said. By contrast with Villeneuve’s nearly three-hour film, Scott’s original Blade Runner ran for just 117 minutes. Scott’s 2007 Blade Runner “Final Cut,” the last of many versions, maintained the same 117 minute running time."
"In a different interview, Denis Villeneuve also said that he continues to grapple with the reasons behind Blade Runner 2049‘s failure . Villeneuve did admit the movie was perhaps too long. However, he also argued that audiences simply weren’t familiar enough with the movie’s world to get interested in a sequel. Villeneuve says overall it’s a “mystery” to him that the movie didn’t do better.
So, would cutting 30 minutes from Blade Runner 2049 have helped the film as Ridley Scott suggests? On a practical level, removing a half-hour would have let theaters squeeze in more showings – an important consideration with any big-budget movie. In terms of pacing, losing 30 minutes in the right spots would have led to a tighter movie. A brisker pace might have helped stave off criticisms that Blade Runner 2049 is boring . Of course, what some describe as “boring,” others call “hypnotic.” For Villeneuve, creating an immersive film was clearly more important than playing to short attention spans. Scott, a guy who balances filmmaking craft with business sense, would likely argue Villeneuve should have paid more attention to commercial concerns.
Ultimately, no one knows if a shorter Blade Runner 2049 would have caught on with audiences. Perhaps it would have helped. Or perhaps, all-in-all, a big-budget Blade Runner sequel was simply never a viable box office proposition ."
