Blade Runner 2049 (2017) is celebrated for its groundbreaking miniatures, matte paintings, optical compositing, and fiber optic effects, guided by legendary Special Photographic Effects Supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich, and David Dryer.

When the original Blade Runner premiered in 1982, it struggled at the box office but later became one of the most influential sci-fi films ever made. Its vision of 2019 Los Angeles remains iconic—featuring unforgettable locations like Union Station, the Bradbury Building, and the Warner Bros. backlot in Burbank.
