But when I read the part, I couldn't believe it. A film that really influenced and inspired me, I'd do anything. LETO: Look, I would have been an extra, I would do anything to have worked with these people and on a film that was such a special part of my life growing up. When Denis approached you about the project, was it something that you said, 'I need to read the script first before I commit?' Or was it Denis being involved and Roger, were you like, 'I'm gonna do this.' And it's a rare thing to have this group of talent, a genius like Denis, a master like Roger and then a cast like Ryan and Harrison and everyone else.

You're hearing his thoughts and Harrison's got that unmistakable voice, the voice of a legend. LETO: Yeah and there's something about hearing Deckard's voice that brought me close to the film. Even Denis says that he loves that version because that's the one he grew up with. I may hear it now and like the director's cut best probably. I have to find out where to get it 'cause, I guess I just like to hear what's going on inside Deckard's head. I've seen every version but I do want to go back and watch the one with the voiceover. LETO: Well I haven't seen the version with the voiceover in a long time, but that's the one that I watched as a kid mostly.
