A new trailer for Blade Runner 2099 has been unveiled, revealing a formal beauty that recalls the style of the 1982 film and its 2017 sequel. The series, slated for the end of the year on Prime Video, follows Cora, a human on the run, and Olwen, a dying replicant, played respectively by Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh. Production was affected by the 2023 WGA strike, but the footage shows careful lighting, color grading and special effects. The narrative appears to focus on a pivotal moment in the conflict between humans and replicants. According to Screen Daily, the first trailer left doubts, while this one is more convincing.
