Trivia
The film Soldier (1998) shared the same screenwriter as the original Blade Runner (1982) - David Webb Peoples, who has stated that both films are set in the same shared universe. In "Soldier," genetically-engineered soldiers meant to replace Todd and his fellow soldiers are implied to be in fact replicants, continuing a theme from "Blade Runner." "2036: Nexus Dawn," set in between the original "Blade Runner" and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017), implies that Nexus-9 replicants were developed in 2035, the year in which "Soldier" takes place.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short. I saw the movie, and now, after watching the short, I recall the great, great, great performance of Leto in the film. Few actors catch my attention the way he does. Bravo! to him and I hope so see him play at his best in every movie he encounters to play in.
