Aux News Julian Sands
Julian Sands, the well-known British actor best known for roles in films like A Room With A View and the Warlock films, has gone missing during a hiking trip, ABC 7 reports. Authorities confirmed tonight that Sands was one of two hikers reported missing late last week amidst heavy storms in Los Angeles.
Sands was reported missing by family members on Friday night. Although born in England, Sands moved to California in the 1980s, after scoring early career successes with his lead role in 1985 E.M. Forster adaptation A Room With A View. He’s since worked steadily in Hollywood, appearing in a number of film and TV roles over the years, and building up more than 150 credits across a long career.
According to the news reports, Sands, 65, went missing while hiking on South California’s Mt. Baldy last week. Search and rescue efforts have been hampered by severe storms in the area. A spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department issued a statement today, saying that, “His wife did report him missing. From what I understand, he left sometime that day for a hike and when he did not return, his family reported him missing.”
Sands is one of two hikers currently missing in the area. The other, Bob Gregory, was reported missing earlier this week, somewhere in the Crystal Lake area.
Los Angeles has been swept by storms over the last several weeks, with flooding affecting larges parts of the city and the surrounding areas. The SBCSD issued a further statement warning hikers to continue to stay off the local trails, noting that, “The conditions are too dangerous. In fact, even some of the more experienced hikers are getting themselves into trouble up there so we recommend that people to stay away from that area.”

“…somewhere in the Crystal Lake area…”Jason Vorhees is back!!!Jokes aside though, hope he’s found safe and well.
Friday the 13th Part ???: Jason vs Warlock
Well, he actually did go missing on Friday the 13th, so there’s that.
That sucks. Seemed like an interesting dude. Always enjoyed when he popped up in things.Boxing Helena was a crazy-ass movie.
Stay safe, Shame Wizard.
That’s David Thewlis.
Naked Lunch.
I can think of two things wrong with that title.
I sincerely hope it wasn’t a spider :/
Huh?
Arachnophobia.
Oh no! I so hope he is found alive (and anyone else he is with, but it sounds like he was alone). A Room With a View is one of my favorite movies, in large part because of him. I don’t know much about him personally, but I take that as a sign that he must be a reasonably decent dude who is not out there doing a bunch of dirt. Very best of luck to the searchers, and I hope they stay safe as well.
Same! I’ve probably seen it a thousand times, and there’s something so dreamy and off-center in his performance.
It’s soooo good, and he’s definitely not your average romantic lead. But he also seems real, in comparison to Daniel Day Lewis’s almost cartoonish portrayal of Cecil.
Yes to all that. I also love the **golden warmth** on screen between him and his father. It’s just so crushingly sweet.
His dad! Just the sweetest. *weep*I’ll have to watch this weekend and hopefully send some good vibes out for Julian.
Such a dependable actor, especially in films like Naked Lunch, also had fruitful collaborations with Mike Figgis even if they weren’t all the greatest movies, not to mention fun trash like Vibes. He was great at elevating marginal schlock just enough to keep it fun, and extremely solid when appearing in prestige films. Tbh I’ll always love him for cooking that baby in Warlock, RIP if he didn’t make it.
This sucks. He livened up many a movie, Warlock being one of my favorites, the Rose Red miniseries being one of the worst
He was still good in Rose Red, though.
The Warlockand A Room With A Viewstar is 65, and was reported missing by his family last weekThere needs to be a space between Warlock and and, and also between View and star.
Hiking in a storm seems like a bad idea, regardless of whether or not you have Warlock powers.
Yeah I live in LA and a lot of people have died on Mt. Baldy in the last few weeks, there have been a ton of these stories. It is very treacherous in the snow and people are not prepared.
I know Julian Sands has done much better work but I love Warlock: The Armageddon. It’s such a fun B movie I still watch nearly every year around Halloween. Hoping he’s found safe and sound.
I’m starting to wonder if Sands just got sick of constant storm after storm, and decided to use his Warlock powers to do something about it.
Not sure I can help with Sands, but have at least one idea on this Bob Gregory guy.
