Ridley Scott Adapts Philip K. Dick's 'Man in the High Castle' For Amazon

Posted by timothy on from the changed-but-how-could-it-be-otherwise dept.

An anonymous reader writes with word of an adaption of Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. Ridley Scott is the executive producer for the adaptation of a Philip K. Dick novel that's one of 13 new TV shows from Amazon Studios. There's also a video adaptation of The New Yorker magazine, and all 13 pilots are available free online. Votes of viewers will help decide which ones get picked up for a full season, and Amazon is promising customers that they've assembled "some of the greatest storytellers in the business with works of novelty and passion."

    Even though the latter actually happened? Granted, the fights were always fixed, but still...
