The time of the replicants has arrived in the trailer for Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Blade Runner 2099’, based on the Ridley Scott film.
Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for the Blade Runner 2099 series based on the Ridley Scott film, and I must say, it looks stunning.
The series marks the return of the Blade Runner franchise nine years after the previous sequel, Blade Runner 2049, starring Ryan Gosling and returning star Harrison Ford.
Scott’s Blade Runner was based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.
In the series, Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant grappling with the end of her life, comes face to face with Cora (Hunter Schafer), a human who is on the run from Blade Runners (those who hunt replicants).
The trailer below features the two encountering each other within a futuristic world filled with violence and wonder, where Yeoh’s character declares, “It’s our time now”.
Dimitri Abold (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Katelyn Rose Downey (The Nun II), Daniel Rigby (Renegade Nell), Johnny Harris (A Gentleman In Moscow), Amy Lennox (Only Child), Sheila Atim (The Woman King) and Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon) also star.
Silka Luisa (Shining Girls) serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Jonathan van Tulleken (Shogun) directed the first two episodes.
Ridley Scott executive produces alongside David W. Zucker and Clayton Krueger of Scott Free Productions.
Blade Runner 2099 premieres on Prime Video on November 25th.
