Ahead of her turn in “Blade Runner 2099” later this year opposite Hunter Schafer—and in honor of her birthday—we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the Oscar winner’s early years on the scene.

Brad Bird gives a list of films that inspired his new film ‘RAY GUNN’ that he recommends for audiences to watch: • The Big Sleep • Out of the Past • LA Confidential • The Big Lebowski • Blade Runner 2049

Before Dishonored was made, Arkane Studios was reportedly working on ideas for a new Thief game and a Blade Runner adaptation under Bethesda. According to Dishonored creators Raphaël Colantonio and Harvey Smith, both projects were cancelled after the rights could not be secured. Bethesda told Arkane to turn those ideas into a new original game instead of discarding the work. That game became Dishonored. The final product still shows the influence: stealth and level design inspired by Thief, and a dark industrial world with clear Blade Runner vibes. In the end, the cancelled projects helped Arkane create one of the most loved immersive sims of its generation.
