SEAN YOUNG talks about Blade Runner: Ridley is an a**hole

[@whatValuesDoYouLiveBy]

In a 1982 interview about the Blade Runner movie Sean Young said "I will be alive in 2020!". She was absolutly correct!

[@hugoramirez6698]

And She is actually is living the distopian, woke world the US has become, no replicants yet, but we have illuminati reptilians like Hillary Clinton and Creepy Joe 😁

[@delshadayin1547]

thats awesome

[@tiffsaver]

It was kind of precognitive, wasn't it?? Especially when she predicted that by now we might even have female robots, which was 100% correct!!! Kinda sorry to see her career implode, however.

[@tiffsaver]

I worked on the film, and I must agree, Ridley was pretty hardcore. I don't know anything about his interaction with the actors, but he must have hired and fired at least three entire set decorating crews during the shoot. It was a pretty hellish experience at times.

She's in the movie for thirty seconds but steals the film. There was a hush in the theater when Young appeared looking just as she did back in 1982. Jaws were dropping!!!

[@MrMarsFargo]

Unfortunately, that’s actually not Young. It’s a different actress the CGI’d Young’s face onto, so she was only paid for her likeness.

[@pupper5580]

I found Young to be better looking in the 1982 film than the CGI version of Young in the new Bladerunner. She was so beautiful in the 1982 film that you couldn't match it even with CGI.

[@norijean3279]

Sean is right. Ridley hired an old grandpa Harrison Ford, but not Sean? She could've done so much in that movie, she still looks great and fans would've loved to see her back! Instead they made a cgi clone of her to show up for a few seconds. That's just stupid and disrespectful...

[@77jamess]

But it wouldn’t make any sense to have her back. Her being dead was integral to the plot of 2049.

[@norijean3279]

Ridley has made some great films. But he has also made films that had a poor script but great visuals. So the idea of talent is kinda strange.

[@jedijones]

How would it make sense for an old Sean Young to be in Blade Runner if Rachel was a replicant? I don't think her not being in it had anything to do with a grudge. Kelly McGillis wasn't in Top Gun 2 either. Maybe it's just as bad as a grudge, but Hollywood doesn't like casting women who look old, unless the part is specifically based on the concept of the woman being old.

[@firenze5555]

They have Harrison Ford in the Blade Runner sequel looking old as hell - why not Sean Young, too? Double standards.

[@sarrjel]

I think in Ridley Scott's mind Sean Young is small potatoes compared to other actresses' he casts in his movies. Learning that Ridley wanted to date Sean Young while he was married is interesting but not surprising because there have been similar stories of women sleeping with the producers and directors to get roles. A woman years ago published a story about how she worked hard through modeling and through acting school and went to Hollywood to get on movies but she learned quickly that in order to get the prominent roles she had to sleep with movie executives of the studio to get in there. She also shared some unsettling information about actresses having to travel to the Middle East and have sex with the leaders there before coming back to the States to get the part in the movie or movies. Hollywood is more of a cult or club that prevents you from getting roles based on talent and more of what you're willing to give up to be a puppet for amusement.

Honesty and talent = rare in Hollywood

[@judgeberry6071]

[@jeffkaufman9875]

@judge If you have to ask…

[@szaki]

I read the story about Ridley, he was a super perfectionist director. The scene with the owl and the room where Ford does the test with Sean's character, there are large tapered columns. Set was built at great cost, no CGI, but when Scott showed up to start shooting, he didn't like these columns were tapering down ward, so he ordered the to change them to taper upward. It took another 2-3 days for the builders to change it, over a minor details, when the movie was way over budget and ran over time. Financers of the movie visited the set and Scott a few times complaining about the movie way overrun production! Scott didn't care, my way or the highway!

[@Happyboymargarine]

[@majicweather4890]

They can make blade runner sequels , that's cute but the original is all that exists to me and so many others. Her performance is flawless in bladerunner. She enjoys the royalties due to new film and the new interest into cyberpunk.

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

I think being with James Wood is what did it to her, she was upset by the way he treated her and she went a little bonkers in sending him dead flowers and stuff because she was upset but he might have been pretty mean to her for her to react like that *maybe. anyway, that is when it went downhill, it was James Woods trying to act like she was crazy but it was because he had a girlfriend at the time if I remember correctly and he was "dallying". this is what I believe, I'm for Sean though. loved her in No Way Out......

[@awassatact4472]

Now at an advanced age, she blames Ridley Scott for her lack of work opportunities. But there's an old interview with her in which she herself admits that the accident she had on horseback, when she had to be replaced in a hurry by Kim Basinger at the last minute, was the turning point of her entire career. From then on it was downhill. If she hadn't taken risks with her hobbies, the accident wouldn't have happened and her role in one of the hottest films of the time, Vicky Vale, would have been different. That's life. She dropped the ball.
