This new iteration will launch the Blade Runner story fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, likely showing a vastly different version of the dystopian version of Earth and potentially even beyond.
Most recently, Van Tulleken directed and executive produced the first two episodes of the hit new FX series, Shōgun, which drew nine million views across Hulu, Disney+, and Star+ in just the first six days after release and has gone on to secure critical acclaim worldwide.
“I owe so much to my film education—to Columbia Film—for where I am now," said Van Tulleken. "Everything I do, a lot of my thinking right there on set, comes directly from the foundation I got in those Columbia classrooms."
Van Tulleken was named a ‘Star of Tomorrow’ by Screen International in 2010. While a student at Columbia, he was awarded the Steve Kessler Award for Best Director. Since then his work has been nominated for various awards, including the BBC Short Film Awards and Virgin Media Short Finals. In 2012 Van Tulleken helmed a number of episodes of E4’s BAFTA award winning series Misfits and in 2013 he directed the entire second series of Channel 4’s BAFTA winning drama Top Boy.
