2036: Nexus Dawn (known in Chinese and Taiwanese territories as 2036: Clone Era, 2036: Chain Dawn, or 2036: Copy of the Times; alternatively known as Blade Runner 2036)[1] is a 2017 American neo-noir science fiction short film acting as a prequel to the feature film Blade Runner 2049. It is one of three such prequels, alongside Blade Runner Black Out 2022 and 2048: Nowhere to Run. The short was released on August 30, 2017, approximately five weeks before the release of the feature film, and features Jared Leto as Blade Runner 2049 character Niander Wallace, alongside Benedict Wong. The film was written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, who also wrote the feature film, and directed by Luke Scott, whose father Ridley Scott directed the original Blade Runner and is executive producer on the sequel Blade Runner 2049.
The film takes place in Los Angeles in 2036, 13 years before the events of Blade Runner 2049, and tells the story of Wallace's meeting with the "lawmakers" and his attempts to convince them to allow his new line of replicants to enter production.
