Correction: Dubai Is Blade Runner

Earlier today, we broke the news that Dubai has become Star Wars. I regret to inform you that this dispatch was factually flawed: Dubai is, in fact, Blade Runner, as proven by these exclusive pics from photog Gerald Donovan.

Less Bespin and more dystopian LA, these night shots of the fog-shrouded city are even more spectacular than this morning’s. I can only imagine what it’d be like to live atop one of these futuristic beasts. Probably pretty incredible! If only it weren’t for the hellish heat and oppressive legal system. But at least there aren’t replicants running around.

    Shanghai is more like Blade Runner to me.. especially on bad air pollution days. :)

    All we need now is the flying cars and off-world colonies… oh, and replicants – especially the pleasure type. I want one that looks like Pris (if she was in fact a replicant).
