We are assuming that most people have seen Denis Villeneuve’s striking sequel Blade Runner 2049 now, so here’s a pretty awesome behind-the-scenes video as to how they brought back Sean Young’s character of Rachael in the movie.
In Blade Runner 2049, Officer K (Ryan Gosling), a new blade runner for the Los Angeles Police Department, unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. His discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former blade runner who’s been missing for 30 years. Towards the end of the movie, Deckard is teased with an image of Young’s Rachael, resurrected from the original movie, and definitely one of the film’s stand-out moments.
