While fans have been calling November 1 “Blade Runner Day” for years, due to the month the movie takes place, this year marks the first time Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi saga has caught up with us.
Yes, Blade Runner’s story famously happens in November, 2019. The film, for us, no longer takes place in the future – and Twitter was quick to point it out…
It’s Halloween, 2019.
