A Scanner Darkly

Never read the book, heard it's one of Phillip K Dick's most "out there" novels (it's about drug abuse I think). Richard Linklater is adapting the film, and it's going to be rotoscoped (like Waking Life)! Here's some pics on the set with the cast-

Holy crap. I had thought this movie would never move forward... I'm actually reading the book right now, almost finished. But... shit. I knew Keanu Reeves was signed up for Arctor, but Robert Downey Jr. and Winona Ryder are looking a lot like I pictured Barris and Donna. This is an adaptation I can get excited about... the book's been plenty good so far and I'm dying to finish it... gonna kill a few more chapters before I go to sleep this morning.

This is probably one of my favorite books of all time, and definetly Dick's most out there novel. Cannot believe they are actually going through with this. I cannot even begin to think how it will work in movie form though.

Well, I finished it last night. Loved it. This will make an excellent movie.

I cannot even begin to think how it will work in movie form though.

The thing I'm most curious about is the scramble suits... and how long of a movie they can make without losing too of the book. There was some great dialogue that I'd like to see make it in.
