Phillip K. Dick (it's based on his book) is the man.

I just started reading some of his essays, and he has this chaotic way of making connections between objects and events that just ends up making a believer out of you.

BTW I'm pretty sure that PKD is a gnostic christian - the title is a reworking of that christian bible phrase "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known"
 
Oh, awesome! I think PKD novels always have the potential, at least, to be great movies. I love his work and really hope to see more good movies based on his material. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, but I still thought that it could make a good movie, albiet a possibly strange and confusing one. I really hope it turns out well.

Edit-And, personally, I thought that the visual style was very cool. And it kind of makes sense, since some parts of the book could be very difficult to do live action.
 
[quote name='jboy']It's NOT cel-shading! It's called rotoscoping.... or something.[/quote]

You're right. Cel-shading is applying filters or effects to 3D polygons. Rotoscoping is roughly "tracing" in a sense, drawing over existing video or film. That's what they're doing here, using the software they developed for Waking Life.

I hated that movie. But I liked School of Rock and Tape, all by the same director. Hopefully this won't get too heady or have mangled intellectual concepts. ....I have to say again how much I despised Waking Life. I really hope the animation is actually useful and purposeful in this case.
 
i dont think i'll be able to watch it just because of the comic book effect... that will bother me so bad.

kind of looks interesting, but it has 2 of the most terrible actors in hollywood, Keanu Reaves, and Winonna Rider (even though keanu is a bad actor, i enjoy most of his movies).
 
That movie looks pretty cool. Hopefully, if it's a good movie, it'll do good in sales, but I doubt it. It looks like a possible DVD purchase for me...
