In case you did not know, a Blade Runner series is in the works and has been shooting since April. Titled Blade Runner 2099, the series was revealed to be in the works in 2021, when Ridley Scott himself confirmed that a pilot and the series’ bible (a reference book for a series with relevant plot and character data) had been written. The series was officially announced in 2022 when the title was also revealed. Filming was set to begin in 2023 but was postponed to April 2024 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which paralyzed the entertainment industry for a longer period of time. Now, knowing that the series is currently being filmed, we can also confirm that we have some exciting casting updates.
The Blade Runner franchise wasn’t a franchise initially. It started off as a standalone movie directed by Scott, which starred Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer in the main roles.

Exclusive: Coming off directing and executive producing the first two episodes of FX’s Shōgun, Jonathan van Tulleken has been tapped to direct and executive produce the first two episodes of another high-profile limited series, Prime Video’s Blade Runner 2099.
Tulleken replaces Jeremy Podeswa, who was originally set to direct the first two episodes but had to step away due to scheduling conflicts as the Blade Runner 2099 production schedule was altered by the WGA strike.
The series was originally slated to film in Belfast last summer. In May, a couple of weeks into the writers strike, it was revealed that, due to the work stoppage, production on Blade Runner 2099 was delayed, likely until spring 2024. Northern Ireland Screen said at the time the project had “been prepping on the ground in Belfast for many months now.”
In October, it was reported that Blade Runner 2099 was moving away from Belfast.

Producer Thunderbird Entertainment, which backs multiple projects filming in Vancouver for U.S. studios and streamers, has dismissed a proxy fight heating up with activist investor Voss Capital.
“Thunderbird believes this proxy fight is a waste of time, energy and resources,” the company, led by CEO Jennifer Twiner McCarron, said in a statement on Thursday after delaying its annual shareholders meeting from Dec. 6 until early 2023. The Canadian producer added that Texas-based Voss Capital, which has a 13.3 percent stake in Thunderbird, was “mistaken” in arguing shareholder value could be unlocked by putting the company up for sale.
Voss, responding in a Nov. 18 letter to Thunderbird investors, pointed to Toronto-based film and TV producer Entertainment One being put up for sale a day earlier by parent Hasbro as proof shareholder value was not being maximized by the current Thunderbird boardroom. “This [Hasbro] announcement is just the...

A fight for control at the top of Canada’s Thunderbird Entertainment Group has entered its latest phase.
Thunderbird’s management is under attack by a key shareholder, Texas-based hedge fund Voss Capital, which wants to replace the board with others who can “unlock the value” of the Kim’s Convenience and Highway Thru Hell maker.
A second shareholder, Railroad Ranch Capital, has also called for a “rigorous strategic review process” after claiming Thunderbird’s public valuation does not accurately reflect its success.
Thunderbird’s board has released a statement “correcting the record… regarding false statements” made by Voss, which owns 13.3 of the company, last week.
It claims Voss has initiated “an ambush proxy fight” by nominating an alternative board on the final day it’s permitted to do. Calling this a “calculated tactic,” the board said it had been forced to postpone its annual general meeting until Q1 2023. This...

Sean Penn, Vladimir Zelenskyy Rally Industry Support for Ukraine at Core Gala: ‘This Is Our Reality’
This is not a movie, Ukraine president Vladimir Zelenskyy told the crowd Friday night at the fundraising gala for Sean Penn’s humanitarian relief organization Core.
The embattled leader addressed the dinner event with a pre-recorded video that urged the wealthy and powerful attendees at the Hollywood Palladium event to find ways to support Ukraine. His five-minute plea was intercut with scenes of the detritus of war large and small, from buildings being blown up to a close-up of a battered and bloodied stuffed animal left behind on a road by a fleeing family.
“This is our reality,” said a grim-faced Zelenskyy, who wore a green T-shirt and fatigues while sitting in front of a tactical map. The actor, who became Ukraine’s president in 2019, addressed the industry crowd as a fellow professional. “It’s not VFX, it’s not computer graphics. All of this is our reality,” he said.

The war in Ukraine was top of mind at Friday night’s Core gala, where founder Sean Penn raised funds for the nonprofit’s crisis response efforts around the world in front of a powerful room including President Bill Clinton, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and stars Sharon Stone and Patrick Stewart.
Core sends teams into the world’s biggest disaster zones to provide aid and assistance, including Haiti after its 2010 earthquake and Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
In addition to raising money, Penn, an active leader in the organization, has spent months in disaster zones and was recently warned to leave the Ukraine, where he was filming a documentary because he was too close to the fighting.
When asked about his dedication to these causes, Stone told The Hollywood Reporter at the L.A. event, “Sean has a vocation. That’s different than a cause.

TV loves a comeback story, and so does the Banff World Media Festival. For its 43rd edition, it will return to the Canadian Rockies.
A crowded program of keynotes, master classes and awards will take place (under stringently planned measures that include masks and outdoor meeting areas with firepits). Executive director Jenn Kuzmyk talked with THR about how to stage a post-pandemic event with glitz and glamour, teary trophy acceptance speeches and Covid-19 vaccination certificates.
Banff is finally returning to an in-person format after being forced online for two years — is it more work pivoting to a familiar format, or less?
It’s not more work. Our team has been equally busy. There are significant new things to consider this year, versus previous years, specifically making sure the event is safe and run well, in light of new requirements for the pandemic. But...

This year’s Banff World Media Festival is set to be one of the most international yet and will go beyond TV trends to address some of the globe’s biggest topics, according to Executive Director Jenn Kuzmyk.
Speaking to Deadline in the lead-up to the annual event, which takes place in-person after two years online from Sunday 12 June to Wednesday 15 June, Kuzmyk pointed to a flurry of non-North American delegates journeying to the beautiful Rockie Mountains from the likes of Netflix, Warner Bros Discovery, Amazon, the BBC and production companies based in Nigeria, France, Sweden and Korea.
“Going virtual during the pandemic has widened our reach and that’s definitely represented in the breadth of participation,” she added. “We’ve always been represented well internationally but perhaps a bit more this year.”

On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The internet startup whiz, restaurateur, and younger brother of Tesla’s Elon had just arrived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from a 2010 Ted conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the empowerment that could come from healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot — food’s untapped potential, how he might be a disruptor in the culinary space — but beyond expanding his farm-to-table ethos along with his restaurant empire, Musk hadn’t yet cracked the code.
