Some of Syd Mead's concept art for Blade Runner, upscaled to wallpaper res 3840x2160, cropped, denoised, color corrected and otherwise edited for the screen. These are NOT the originals as produced by Mr. Mead, if you are looking for 1:1 unmolested versions of the original art this isn't it.

(I'm not sure Tumblr will host these at the original full-res without downsampling them? See what happens I guess)

I zipped the full-sizes on my Dropbox if you should want them.

Visually, technically, and logistically, this was one of the most challenging scenes to capture. Over four months, Denis Villeneuve and Roger Deakins mapped out every detail of the fight, the lights, and the holograms. Yet the biggest challenge was deciding which of these elements would dictate the shots. They finally concluded that music would lead the way. Villeneuve started by editing a glitching version of Elvis Presley’s 1970′s Vegas rendition of “Suspicious Minds,” and the song became the baseline for everything that followed. Roger Deakins’ lighting came next. The Art Department then designed and built an extensive set on which Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford filmed their fight scene. The holograms were shot last to be able to adjust their performances around the main actors, not the other way around.

“You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.”

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
adapted into the 1982 film Blade Runner, dir. Ridley Scott
