Blade Runner 2049

The key to the future is finally unearthed.

Blade Runner 2049 is set thirty years after the original film, leaving a sizable distance in story that needed to be addressed. Our challenge was to bridge this gap and introduce central characters and events to filmgoers in advance of the new film’s theatrical release.

Nowhere to Run

An anthology of digital shorts set in between the two films. In “Nowhere to Run,” we introduce Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista), an outlaw Nexus 8 that visits a crime-infested LA market to sell his nematodal protein when a heroic decision forces him to compromise his anonymity, leaving him exposed to identification and capture.

“If Marvel Entertainment has taught what a well-timed teaser and an expertly soundtracked trailer can do for movie marketing, then 3AM and Ridley Scott have done just as much with thoughtful, complementary creative content.”

—Fast Company

“This will get you stoked for the film.”

—Esquire

“Dave Bautista is stunningly powerful in his vulnerability in a phenomenal new short film prequel to Blade Runner 2049.”

—Express UK

“I much prefer this sort of original and progressive storytelling as movie marketing, as opposed to the tired trend of spoiling much of a movie in endless clips and trailers released ahead of time. More of this, please!”

—Collider

“Bautista is just great in this. So timid and kind, but with that brutal core just waiting to burst open.”

—io9

“Dave Bautista gives one of his best performances in this new Blade Runner 2049 short film.”

—Polygon

“Awesome, right? I personally love these prequel shorts. You get more insight into the characters, but not at the expense of spoiling plot. But you are given a few clues as to what action may yet unfold, which just get you all the more excited for the film to come.”

—SyFy

A haunting 6-minute prologue short film that explains the evolution of replicant technology and establishes the ruthless antagonist of Blade Runner 2049.


Nexus Dawn

“A tense and unnerving five-minute short that feels right at home within the universe.”

—Vice

“An unsettling but masterful performance from Leto.”

—Polygon

“[They] have figured out how to make marketing interesting again — and it comes down to giving viewers something that’s both entertaining and informative.”

—Cinema Blend

“Gorgeous, atmospheric work…much better than just another trailer.”

—Adweek

“A Gripping Prologue”
