Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The giant pink Joi hologram required building a 50-foot water tank and shooting at 3AM in freezing Budapest. Ana de Armas wasn't even on set—it's all compositing magic.
Villeneuve insisted on practical sets because he 'didn't want to feel like I was directing a video game'—a direct shade at modern blockbuster production.
