Prime Video has tapped Shogun director Jonathan van Tulleken to helm the first two episodes of Blade Runner 2099.
Per Deadline, Tulleken takes over for Jeremy Podeswa who ultimately dropped out due to scheduling conflicts caused by the WGA strike. Filming is set to begin in April.
The Blade Runner franchise began in 1982, as an adaptation of the sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The dystopian flick underperformed at the box office and went on to become a cult classic, with many crediting the film as having paved the way for both the neo-noir and cyber-punk genres.
