Philip K. Dick's Hollywood Afterlife

Posted by michael on from the read-the-books dept.

HarryLeBlanc writes "Wired has a long thoughtful article about Philip K Dick's posthumous Hollywood career. It has some interesting tidbits in it (imagine Total Recall directed by Cronenburg and starring William Hurt!), and does a good job of covering his Hollywood history (though it overlooks Barjo), and it doesn't gloss over how PKD would have hated what Hollywood has done to much of his work."

    Probably those of us who look for something deeper in life than firefights and see
    relationships as being more complex than just pairing with a sex partner.

    You're a woman, aren't you?
    No sane man would ever say something like that in public....
    not unless it was gonna get him laid.

    Its a story about dick, that is pretty relevant to a lot of Linux fags who jack off to naked pictures of Linus Torvalds and Rob Malda.

    Whoever modded my parent post a Troll, WTF?

    Reply rather than mod if you think that it really is a Troll, because I can't see it.
