Precisely thirteen years before young Blade Runner K's discovery in Blade Runner 2049 (2017), Niander Wallace, the founder of the replicant manufacturing company, Wallace Corporation, expressed his desire to create a new line of synthetics. With Earth's ecosystem rapidly deteriorating, Niander stresses the importance of cheap labour, making sure to illustrate the fact that the superior Nexus-9 replicants pose no threat to society, created only to serve. Will Wallace's ambitious project get the green light? —Nick Riganas

Trivia
The film Soldier (1998) shared the same screenwriter as the original Blade Runner (1982) - David Webb Peoples, who has stated that both films are set in the same shared universe. In "Soldier," genetically-engineered soldiers meant to replace Todd and his fellow soldiers are implied to be in fact replicants, continuing a theme from "Blade Runner." "2036: Nexus Dawn," set in between the original "Blade Runner" and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017), implies that Nexus-9 replicants were developed in 2035, the year in which "Soldier" takes place.

Quotes
Lawmaker: Mr. Wallace, we've granted you this meeting in efforts to your contributions.
Magistrate #2: Your essential contributions.
Magistrate #4: We recognize that for the greater good.
Niander Wallace: You remember hunger? So you indulge the recluse whose patents keep that hunger at bay? I believe in life. In fact, I have wrung more life from our earth than ever before. But it is dying. You - are dying. Which brings us to our present concern.
Lawmaker: Prohibition.
Magistrate #4: We have made clear our position.
Magistrate #3: The prohibition of replicant technology is not subject to debate.
Magistrate #2: Nor, is its repeat.
Niander Wallace: Yet... we are debating.

An incomplete short

In "2036: Nexus Dawn", Wallace (Jared Leto) demonstrates a new kind of replicant, who will absolutely obey the orders from human and never run. But the lawmaker (Benedict Wong) does not seem to believe in him. The short should show how the lawmaker changes his attitude and maybe include a possible discussion among the magistrates.
