The lines between reality and perception blur in this comic journey into the life and mind (literally!) of one of sci-fi's most brilliant authors. Paranoid conspiracies of the highest order, drug-fueled interdimensional shifts, and 1970's pop culture combine for the mind-bending adventure of the century.

Directed by Mathew Wilder, the guy who sang the 80s hit "Break My Stride." Seriously!

PKD will be played by Bill Pullman.

Giamatti to Play Sci-Fi Author Philip K. Dick
Source: Variety August 8, 2006

Paul Giamatti is in talks to star as sci-fi author Philip K. Dick in an untitled biopic that his newly launched Touchy Feely Films is producing with Anonymous Content, reports Variety.

The authorized biopic also is being produced by the Philip K. Dick Estate through its Electric Shepherd Productions. Tony Grisoni (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) will write the screenplay.

Dick, who died in 1982, wrote more than four dozen books and numerous short stories, with at least seven being adapted for the big screen, including Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report. A Scanner Darkly is in theaters now.

The nontraditional biopic will interweave the prolific author's life with his fiction and incorporate elements of his last unfinished novel, "The Owl in Daylight."

PKD is hot shit right now.

I suspect Giamatti's project is competing with Wilder's version. Support from the PKD Estate will help it squash Wilder's baby like a little indie fly.

I'd give it to Ken Russell. Not only is he brilliant at biopics but he could use the money.

Terry Gilliam is rumored to be taking the helm of THE OWL IN DAYLIGHT, an unconventional biopic about Phillip K. Dick that uses elements of his fiction mixed in with stuff that happened to him.

not sure if he's right for this. Huh

Brilliant. Gilliam would make it edgy and cerebral.
