Tyrell Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tyrell Corporation is a fictional megacorporation from the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. Based in Los Angeles in the year 2019, Tyrell is named after its founder Dr. Eldon Tyrell and is a high-tech biocorp primarily concerned with the production of life-like androids called replicants. Tyrell's motto is "More human than human".
The Tyrell Corporation served as the inspiration for the Genom Corporation from the cult anime series Bubblegum Crisis. Indeed, the series itself serves as an extended homage to Blade Runner.
