Michelle Yeohaisance continues. A few days after going to the White House receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, has another big concert scheduled. A new report says that our beloved Michelle Yeoh—an Everywhere Everything at once Oscar Winner: Joins Prime Video Limited Series Blade Runner 2099. But in franchise fashion, we have no idea if he'll be playing a human or a replicant.
Limit date reports Yeoh has signed on to the upcoming Prime Video series, which is currently filming in Prague. The show is a sequel to the 2017 Denis Villeneuve film Blade Runner 2049, which was a sequel to Ridley Scott's iconic 1982 film. (Which itself was an adaptation of author Philip K. Dick's classic story Do androids dream of electric sheep??.) Scott is an executive producer of the series alongside showrunner Silka Luisa (bright girls). I ShogunJonathan van Tulleken will also serve as executive producer and direct the first two episodes.
Yeoh's exact role in the show is the last unknown about the series. Prime Video has yet to release any plot details about the story. Its title reveals that it takes place half a century later Blade Runner 2049. A lot can change in five decades on a dying planet full of humans and replicants alike, and yet we know that even with that much time a lot in the world of Blade Runner always remains the same.
The series was considered a priority for Amazon in 2022. It was about “fast-tracking the scripts and looking at possible production dates.” However, the Hollywood studios' unnecessary delay in giving fair contracts to the writing and acting unions delayed work on the show. Now it's in full swing with an Oscar winner in the cast.
And whether Michelle Yeoh is playing a real person or a copy of one, we know she's going to be good.
