BLADE RUNNER 2049 - "2036: Nexus Dawn" Short 

The replicants right eye twitches when he is told to choose a life between wallace or his own as if he wants to rebel but has to obey. Great acting from everyone in this short.

This short film has more jared leto screentime than suicide squad

The guy has the average of killing one replicant per monologue. No wonder he can't populate the universe.

have you noticed something? the entire series put an emphasis on eyes as a symbol of humanity. you know, because eyes are the window to the soul...Wallace here is blind, yet presents himself as a an all knowing god of biotechnology. he can afford to have surgery to cure himself, but refuses, instead replacing his eyes with cold machinery later in 2049. its almost as if he views humanity as beneath him, and therefore wants to remain blind to it due its inherent impurity. he also refers to his creations as "angels", meaning his idea of being this new scientific god is to create his version of perfect life: devoid of humanity, cold, and completely obedient to him.

What makes Wallace such a terrifying villain is his unshakable belief that the things he does are necessary. He is all about Purpose and if you have no purpose in his great plan you are to be removed. He doesn't even hate you really he just doesn't need you. He's like some kind hyper-intelligent hive-minded insect that only looks like a human being.

"You don't have children, do you." "Oh I HAVE MILLIONS." Leto's best line in the film. He nailed Wallace.

Could he not have used PowerPoint or the results of a survey arranged in a nice pie chart to get his point across.

They are just lucky he didn't Morb.

"Thank you Mr. Wallace, you may can see yourself out-..." "Why thank you, I uh, can someone show me where the door is, my servant. I mean replicant is dead, I need some help finding me way home..."

David Bowie was considered to play Wallace but he passed away too early...RIP

Jared sometimes gets hate cause of the 5 mins he played Joker on screen but he was perfection in Blade Runner, a movie with an actual good script, good direction, and good characterization to allow his talent to shine through.

I just have one thing to say about this scene: Jared Leto is absolutely phenomenal as an actor in Blade Runner 2049. Niander Wallace is such an intriguing character.

This is what happens when you put a good actor into a good role, with a great director, and writer. Glad to see Leto in a well made role instead of the shit show that was the Suicide Squad Joker.

Trivia. In Greek Mythology the prophet/oracle Tiresias was the most powerfull of all despite the fact the he was blind. He was both male and female, he was at the present and the future at the same time, he was among the living and the dead ones and full of lust, always giving his cryptic predictions that eventually came true e.g. he told about narcissus that he would thrive as long as he didn't know himself... so tiresias became in important figure in a lot of ancient stories and tragedies. Let's see what they have taken from that myth and put into this story.

There's something about the way he talks, his cadence, that's unsettling.

so, how does blind dude get home now?

'Do androids pray to electric Jesus?'

Everyone is talking about how Jared Leto is amazing, but my boy Benedict Wong is in this, Benedict is the single greatest human being in all of history

Jared Leto's acting is so highly underrated.

Jared Leto is a better Joker here than in Suicide Squad

Man Michael Morbius is such a cool character.

Goddamn Jared Leto's presence in this short is mesmerizing...having rewatched the final cut past we this makes me anticipate the movie even more

if only there were good writers in place for him playing the Joker he would have been amazing.

Wallace has more screen time in this short film than he does in the actual movie

It is so fulfilling to watch Jared Leto when he is in his element, he understands the art of owning a scene. Kudos to the director for utilizing this. I'm stoked because of one & only Leto!💋❤❤

you can't go wrong with this Director!

Somehow I thought the woman’s happy reaction to the whole ordeal was the most unnerving thing about this scene

ITS MORBIN TIME 😈 this video gonna rise now

its morbin time

My favorite part is when Ryan Gosling sais: IT'S BLADIN' TIME!

Jared Leto looking good and professional at his work, as always.

Jared Leto's performace in this film, reminded me of Marlon Brando's acting technique from Apocalypse Now

Leto's awesome, adds a real substance to the film, a real chilling element that get's your attention, and holds it...just superb, much respect to him.

humanity has only survived this long by crushing the earth to suit it needs

Denis is a superior artist, a genius, he is in a completely different level of directing. Just gotta love this man and his work.

“We should own the stars” “we could storm eden and recapture it”

This film going to be great can’t wait

Jared is such a jewel. Him and Johnny depp are amazing at doing diverse roles

It was Morbin' Time all the way back then too.

Yea, Tyrell was a genius and capitalist. He understood his works to a degree, not fully understanding what he was creating. This guy, Wallace, he seems to fully understand his bio-engineered creations to the last codon in the DNA sequence. It seems that he doesn't see himself as a genetic engineer but a diety, the 1st new human GOD... if he's even human. Just hoping this film is going to be dark and not have a happy ending. Just tell a good story.

when i first saw the thumbnail, i thought it was Morbin Time

is he morbin'?

i LOVE that Jared Leto is in this movie. massively, MASSIVELY underrated talent. he's a pretty great musician as well!

Benedict Wong is awesome. Underrated actor for sure.

MORBIUS?

In Denis villeneuve we Trust

A blood black nothingness. A system of cells. Within cells interlinked. Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct. Against the dark. A tall white fountain played."

That piano in the background is amazing!! makes the scene soooo intense

Judging from this clip... I already approve of Jared Leto's casting.

it's Morbin time

hey that's doctor michael morbius!

Jared Leto is so intense yet calm in this scene, I can't wait to watch this movie!!! I loved him as Joker in Suicide Squad and I'm more than sure I'll love him in this film.

It's morbin time

“No, we won’t let you manufacture replicants again.” “What if I get one to kill himself in front of you now?” “Well, OK, you’ve convinced us. You stumble along home now, Mr. Wallace. We’ll have someone clean this up.”

Leto's performance in BR 2049 is spectacularly good. Just stunning immersion in his character as Wallace.

Denis Villeneuve is the only thing that makes me optimistic about this sequel. he's an extrodinary filmmaker.

MORB BOIS?!

Leto should do a Joker short ! He deserves to prove that he can be great !

I don't remember this part in Morbius

This short film would've been such a good addition to the actual movie. It really give us a lot of background and context to what kind of person Wallace is, and a deeper look at his twisted motives.

Hopefully this puts the Jared Leto hate to bed. He's a fantastic actor and deserved his Oscar for Dallas Buyer's Club. Suicide Squad was a mess and it was because of a poor script and no direction that negatively affected Leto.

This is art.

This is the true Wong and Morbius

Damn Jared Leto's scary af

The joker is amazing here

It's morbin time ❤️

My hope is that this guy isn't an actual villain in the plot-structure sense; what worked so well about the original is that there isn't actually any one villain except for perhaps humanity itself. If they make the new one something that culminates in a boss-fight, it'll be a seriously missed opportunity.

Now this is sound acting from Leto!

the internet has absolutely shattered me

Watching this I could see how Jared could make a good Joker. Unfortunately his appearance and the script were all wrong.

can't wait cyberpunk forever

WE NEED A FULL NIANDER WALLACE MOVIE. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN, JARED!

If the movie is anything like this I'll be happy

Oh hi WONG!

cant wait to see jared leto as morbius!!

morbin'

Wong & Morbius

"You don't have children, do you" "Oh, I have *Morbillions*"

hey its morbius!

You remember hunger... This movie is so enlightened I’d almost call it twisted prophecy

Morbius.

I really hope Hollywood continues to give this director more movies. Brilliant.

Let's see Paul Allen's Blade Runner

Morbius origins

I've seen 2049 three times now and the detail and richness are coming through in ways I did not see the first time. Mesmerizing...

Villeneuve is a fucking genius

Even in a short film like this Benedict Wong stands out. The despair and bewilderment in his face is so good.

Jared Leto in Suicide Squad=Cringy Joker Jared Leto in BladeRunner=Ultimate BADASS

Damn. Now thats acting

I thought they made a new morbius movie

Denis Villeneuve is the perfect blend of Ridley Scott's genial atmospheric visuals, Kubrick' s slow paced camera motion and Fincher's Monochromatic movie color palettes. Him and Cristopher Nolan are this generation's masters of movie making.

I don't understand why so many people hate Jared Leto. He's a good actor. Just like anyone in his profession he needs a good script and director. Lord of War is proof enough that Leto can give us an amazing performance and that his issue is not in the quality of b his performance. Suicide Squad was shit. It was a mess and Jared Leto wasn't really given anything to work with. People reflexively hate him for reasons I don't understand. Much like Ben Affleck or Jake Gyllenhall. Whatever you think of them as people they are talented and capable actors who have given many outstanding performances. I b didn't really have an opinion about Jared Leto going into this movie apart from really enjoying his role in Lord of War. I judge him based on his acting. As such he gives a great performance. Niander Wallace is a character that he brought to life. Is he perfect? Heck no. Does he create a mysterious, charismatic villain with motivations that you understand? Yes. It really bothers me when people have this knee jerk hate for an actor to the point where they disregard their performances entirely. Ben Affleck, Jake Gyllenhall, and Jared Leto are perfect examples. All three have been in critically acclaimed roles within critically acclaimed films. Leto has talent, and just like any other actor he needs a good script and director. In BR 2049 he got both and his performance as Niander Wallace reflects that. Blade Runner 2049 is not perfect, no movie is. It does drag on in a few places especially the whole scene with the beehives. However overall it's a masterfully done film with incredibly strong performances from all cast members and some of the most jaw dropping cinematography I've ever seen. It's one of those rare true sequels in an Era of reboots and reimaginings. That's impressive enough but on top of that the movie is exceptional. To the point where it's a legitimate question as to whether BR 2049 is better than the original. In conclusion, judge the movie and performances on their own merits. Unless the actors are axe murderers or rapists there's no reason to instinctively dismiss their performance. Blade Runner 2049 is an outstanding film and people that didn't go see it deserve a good smack in the face.

How come Leto looks so fucking menacing as a blind man? Gives me the chills my dude!

"My friend Luke Scott..." who just happens to be Ridley Scott's son.

Now that his guide is dead, who will lead the blind man home? :/

It is extremely hard to imagine anyone else playing Wallace so seamlessly and flawlessly as Jared Leto does. In fact, the entire cast of BR49 seems to fit right in.

It’s Nianderin Time!

This scene is so good that I wish it was in the film itself.

In this film Wallace is some sort of powerful warlord/gangster in addition to being an entrepreneurial super genius. Poor Tyrell had to cooperate with the police.

How did other RU-vid channels get this video before Warner Bros posted yet?
