Although for many years Harrison Ford refused to talk about this movie, he did contribute to the 2007 DVD documentary Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner (2007), claiming he had reconciled with Sir Ridley Scott and made his peace with this movie. In fact, Ford says the thing he remembers most is not the grueling shoot or the arguments with Scott, but being forced to record the voice-over which executive producers Jerry Perenchio and Bud Yorkin insisted be in this movie. Ford doesn't actually mention any names, but in discussing the voice-over which was used in the theatrical cut, he says it was written by "clowns". In actual fact, Darryl Ponicsan was initially hired to write it, but his version was tossed out. Then Roland Kibbee was hired, and his version is the one that was used. According to screenwriter David Webb Peoples, Hampton Fancher had written beautiful voice-overs that were never used because the producers insisted on expository monologues. When Peoples and Fancher, who had become close friends, first saw the movie with the new voice-overs, they each thought the other had written it, and despite the fact that they both hated it, they told one another they loved it for fear of insulting the other's feelings.
