“The old world forever fights to come back. Humans want what was taken from them… But it’s our time now.” The time of the Replicants? Prime Video has revealed the first look teaser trailer for Blade Runner 2099 direct from a Hall H presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con. After the original 1982 sci-fi movie & sequel Blade Runner 2049 from 2017, they next created a spin-off series set even further into our dystopian future. Fifty years after the events of BR2049, Los Angeles has been reborn, just not by humanity. Cora, a fugitive in a final bid to stop running, takes on one last identity: a Blade Runner. Forced to partner with Olwen, a Replicant days from dying, they hunt a runaway hiding a truth that could collapse their fragile city. Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer star as Olwen and Cora. The ensemble series cast includes Dimitri Abold and Lewis Gribben, along with Katelyn Rose Downey, Daniel Rigby, Johnny Harris, Amy Lennox, Sheila Atim, Matthew Needham, Tom Burke, Maurizio Lombardi. Just like BR2049, this was filmed mostly in Prague along with Barcelona. This is one helluva first look! Some impressive footage in here and tons of full-on futuristic shots. I’m digging the look of this! I just hope the main story delivers, too.
