Wallace newborn replicant scene
Scene: Wallace Corporation Interior2.0 min on screenChoreographed-ActionPractical-EffectBlood-Fx
Niander Wallace inspects a newly-decanted female replicant prototype in the Wallace Corp inner sanctum, and casually murders her — a single-line stab, performed in one take by Sallie Harmsen on a body-rig wrist-knife with a retracting-blade prop. The blood reveal is a practical Tom Savini-derived squib synced to the prop's retraction. Choreographed in tight 360° camera sweep.

Coordinator notes
No traditional rigs — a single-take choreography between Leto, Harmsen, and a body-mounted retracting-blade prop. Tom Savini-derived squib pack on Harmsen's torso supplied the blood-reveal synced to the prop's retraction beat.Safety
