An anonymous reader writes "Some images for the upcoming film 'A Scanner Darkly' have been posted on aintitcool.com. Looks like it's going to look alot like one of Richard Linklater's previous films, Waking Life."

  1. Why this film will fail. by precogpunk · · Score: 1, Troll

    #5. Flat Black Films hasn't produced a movie with a plot. Waking Life was collection of random encounters; the making of which was really just a collaboration in many ways.
    #4. All of the movies made from PKD's novels have been either a flop, or stripped key plot elements. If you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and watched Blade Runner then you'll know what I'm talking about.
    #3. The choice to use animation instead of live action means there's no reality to question. People don't question cartoons, they are merely entertained by them.
    #2. When asked about Warner Independent (who co-financed A Scanner Darkly) the Dick Estate stated they were "... A new division of WB devoted to serious films with modest budgets." Why not give it the BIG BUDGET that a film like this should have? Are studios not willing to take the risk?
    #1. Keanu Reeves -- need I say more?
