Whatever Happened to... SEAN YOUNG

Blade Runner 2049 answers the question as to what happened to the replicant Rachael, but you might also be wondering what became of the actress who played her. Sean Young was an '80s stalwart fondly remembered not only for her icy turn in Blade Runner , but also starring alongside Bill Murray in Stripes (1981) and Kevin Costner in No Way Out (1987). The latter film's steamy limo sex scene raised her Hollywood profile and she was poised to star in Tim Burton's Batman (1999), but broke her arm in a horse-riding accident and was replaced by Kim Basinger. She also missed out on playing Catwoman in the sequel, as well as a role in Dick Tracy (1990). Young is also famous for her clashes with producers, directors and co-stars. Oliver Stone reduced her role as Gordon Gekko's wife in Wall Street (1987) after she got under his skin, and James Woods sued her for harassment after they appeared together in The Boost (1988). She also made news when she was put under citizen's arrest following a scuffle with a security guard at the 2012 Oscars' after-party. More recently, she has been adrift in the wasteland of bad television shows and B-movies, although she did appear in a supporting role in the cult horror-western Bone Tomahawk (2015). "I'm a comeback waiting to happen," she told EW in 2008. Nine years later, we're still waiting.

Ryan Coogler's Creed (2015) was a terrific spin-off from the Rocky franchise, and now Sylvester Stallone has confirmed via Instagram that he will be back for "one more round", producing and directing the sequel. Michael B. Jordan will reprise his role as the son of Rocky's former rival in Creed II , which is also rumoured to feature the return of Rocky IV 's Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). In production

“Let's get a petition together and lobby the ABC to get A Moody Christmas happening again, because I cannot tell you how many people come up to me weekly, in Australia, and say 'love that show, when's it coming back?' It's an incredible legacy for just two seasons. I loved that show and I loved that character; I would give anything to play him again. But who knows? Maybe it's better just to leave it as it was."
