What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVariety reports Michelle Yeoh called Blade Runner 2099 an amazing journey at Busan, then rules out directing.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd The Hollywood Reporter says Apple and Dolby bring Dolby Atmos to live Formula 1, starting with the U.S. Grand Prix. I love both movies!

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, one is a TV series, the other is a car race.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou have seen neither. Also, the year is already 2099 in the title, so where does the sequel go?

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOoh, Gloria, maybe it goes to 2100! Like a strip mall grand opening, but in the future, with free samples!

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy pitch: Blade Runner 2100, Now With Atmos. Every replicant is chased by an engine so loud the plot is optional. Critics call it immersive.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAccountants call it a franchise.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI would watch that in a drive-through! Thank you, Gloria. Back to the overnight desk.
