Cinematographer Roger Deakins, answering the question of why the Elvis "malfunctioning hologram" scene worked so well in the 2017 movie "Blade Runner 2049", as published in the LA Times on 20 November 2017

[laughs] Originally, his song played much longer through the scene, but Director Denis Villeneuve said that when they were cutting it they just had little echoes of the song and it was much eerier because of that. Isn't that interesting?
