- The animated short is a prequel of the forthcoming full-length movie Blade Runner 2049.
Flying Lotus and Kuedo helped score a new short film called Blade Runner 2022.
The animated film was written and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and also includes music from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Pitchfork reports. It's the third in a series of prequels taking place in the years between the original Blade Runner and the forthcoming sequel, which is due out on October 6th.
The news arrives in the wake of reports that composer Jóhann Jóhannsson is no longer involved in scoring Blade Runner 2049. Flying Lotus' own film Kuso secured a wider release back in June and he's set to embark on a 3D show tour across North America this fall.
