Despite its critical success, 'Blade Runner 2049' did poorly in the box office, and original 'Blade Runner' director, Ridley Scott, knows why.

The Blade Runner: Black Lotus animated series brought the franchise to the small screen for the first time in 2021. It was met with generally positive, though somewhat lukewarm, reviews.

Kenji Kamiyama, well known for his work on Blade Runner: Black Lotus, directs the movie, which takes place nearly 200 years prior to story detailed in the original Lord of the Rings films.
