Dennis Villeneuve in an interview about Blade Runner 2049 with Screendaily.com:

“I can count on my fingers the amount of times we put a green screen on set. Most of the movie was done on camera, me and [cinematographer] Roger Deakins worked very hard to do it that way.

“My actors were not walking on green screens all day long. CGI is a strong tool for backgrounds and extensions but what is around the actors needs to be as real as possible. When I watch a movie that’s mostly CGI, I’m disengaged,” he continued.

lol the joke is on him because the movie looks exactly like a teal and orange transformers film. And the sheeple will praise him all they want, and he will drink his own little kool aid and make all that money, good for you, your film still looks like any other Michael Bay digital crap.

While this is great to hear, I'm pretty sure those vehicles in the opening shot of the trailer were CG...

They could have been real with CGI effects added, like the caution signs etc. But we know they built real physical cars for this movie. They can be seen in a few other images.

What about blue screens?

Nobody cares about what this hack has to say.

What makes you so convinced that they are? I've watched that trailer at least 8 times by now, and while I agree that the steam seems to have been enhanced with CGI (which is no proof, btw), the cars don't look like CGI at all to me.
