Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve says "Blade Runner 2049" has been the biggest artistic challenge of his career because he holds Ridley Scott's original movie in very high esteem.
	The director says he wants to honour Scott's vision, reported Femalefirst.
	"I have to find a way to make that universe mine. I have to find a way to not feel like a vandal going in a church, making graffiti on the walls. It's by far the biggest artistic challenge I have ever done.
	"To take someone else's universe and to try digest and make it my own is a strange process ... One of the things you have to do when you want to honour something is incorporate and go large. You don't want to just do the high school play. You don't want to do a remake...," Villeneuve says.
	The Harrison Ford led 1982 movie, based on Philip K Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", is considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made.

	"I actually turned down a few during the beginning of my career because they didn't feel right for where I wanted to be. Maybe it's because it's a certain kind of comedy I'm after - a quirky reality, something offbeat where there's a soul underneath. I want to go on set and laugh all day.
