RIP, just as I was reading "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?". His role is a bit bigger there.

I saw him in an old Planet of the Apes movie a while back. Also he was in Back to School, and who could forget him in The Jerk. "'Johnson, Navin R.'... sounds like a typical bastard..."  ;D

RIP Emmet.

It's a very polite way of saying "the film will put you to sleep".

Sounds like our main character might not be a Blade Runner in this, then. Interesting.

So much noir isn't told from the POV of the detective, so this strikes me as a very valid angle to go here. And with the comment that the (presumably Replicant) lead has to team up with a Blade Runner that is nearing the end of her own life, that initially makes one think that the Blade Runner is also a Replicant with a set expiration date, but I wonder if perhaps she might be human and dealing with a sickness/disease in which her own days are numbered, which would bring her that much closer to the prey that she is being sent out to ruthlessly hunt down.

Such a good character actor. He had a loooooong career and was a part of so many good movies/TV shows.

So in the article Yeoh is described as playing Olwen, and there's mention of her being a Replicant (but, strangely, no mention of her being a Blade Runner). I wonder if yesterday's report about Cora and Olwen mixed up the names, or if the report yesterday was correct and Olwen is a Replicant Blade Runner like K (and, perhaps, Deckard ;)).

Anyways, love this casting. Can't wait to see where things go.

I swear I've posted here in the past with a very surface level pitch of a female asian lead donning a 1930's detective hat.

Regardless, Michelle Yeoh is great!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of my favourite movies ever. Cannot wait to see Yeoh again.



Aahna Ashina aka "Ash" from Blade Runner 2019, 2029 and 2039 has some Asian origin.
