Blade Runner 2049 film franchise

Blade Runner 2049 is a seminal work of modern science fiction cinema, serving as the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 classic. The film was produced through a collaborative international effort involving Alcon Entertainment, Columbia Pictures, and Sony Pictures, with principal photography and production sets located in Hungary (Origo Studios and Korda Studios), the United States, and Canada.

The brand's origin traces back to the United States, based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and the original visionary film production. Today, the intellectual property is primarily managed by Alcon Entertainment, with distribution rights held by Warner Bros. Pictures and Sony Pictures Releasing. This cinematic universe has grown from a singular cult classic into a massive franchise encompassing sequels, animated series, and various digital media products, maintaining its status as a cornerstone of the cyberpunk genre.
