BUSAN, Oct 7 — Malaysian actress and Academy Award winner Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh has described her upcoming role in Blade Runner 2099 as an “amazing journey,” ahead of her trip to New York Comic Con to promote the Prime Video series.
Yeoh spoke about the project at a Busan International Film Festival press conference today, according to Variety.
“To be given an opportunity to take it to 2099 is indeed an amazing journey, and to work with such a great talent like Hunter Schafer is a great joy,” Yeoh said.
“Silka Luisa, who is our showrunner, Alcon, Ridley Scott as well, has welcomed us into this world of replicants and humans, and I can’t wait for all of you to watch it.”
Yeoh will join Schafer, Luisa and other members of the team for a panel at the New York event.
All eight episodes of the limited series will be released on November 25.
Yeoh plays Olwen, a replicant Blade Runner nearing the end of her life, who partners with Schafer’s Cora, a mysterious new recruit.
