Fans of Phillip K. Dick's work, and his novels that made it to the big screen like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, will be pleased to know that production is underway on A Scanner Darkly. Phillip K. Dick is the master of cerebral storytelling, focusing on the mysteries of who we are and the limits of perceived reality.

The movie is employing computer assisted Rotoscoping, basically animation over live footage, much like the director, Peter Linklater's earlier film, Waking Life.

The production company is also in the process of seeking artists based in the Austin, TX area to work on the film. They want people who are skilled in line drawing and experienced with Flash programming.

You also have Minority Report and Paycheck too that he wrote as short stories. As you know they made them into movies too.


One thing about Dick though, is a lot of his works like A Scanner Darkly are a bit trippy. Its hard to figure out what actually is based on the man's life or is just fiction.

Eternal Sunshine is not a work of Dick. A lot of the themes and ideas are similar to something Dick would write.
