Well I'm happy about this, even if no one else is! Gonna be some intellectual meat in the cinema to chew on again at long last...

This should be interesting...

It's great how we can be of equal mind in one thread but on completely opposite sides in another, lol!

That's what I love about this forum - diversity and unpredictability!

Cheers!

Ha, ha, ha, yeah. Shake...

No, this Albemuth movie is what I've been waiting for. Cheers for the heads up.

And what's interesting is the potential for total lock-down on discussion of this given the extremely touchy political ground Dick covers here. A Fascist America. Wow.

It's interesting that many mainstream dystopian sci-fi films and TV shows revolve around a fascist society, because fascism or it's more benign cousin, federalism, have become the blueprints for dystopia. And by "facism," let me clarify the main components: militarism, collectivism (anti-capitalism), & atheism.

I can throw so many examples your way:

Brazil
GATTACA
Star Wars
Equilibrium
Aeon Flux
Logan's Run
Fahrenheit 451
V for Vendetta
Dr. Who
Starship Troopers
Planet of the Apes
Star Trek
Firefly/Serenity

...the list goes on.

So will it really be so controversial, or just very frank and honest? Here's hoping for the latter, because controversy can really wreck havoc on the public perception of a film... take Avatar. OOPS - WRONG THREAD! :lol

Cheers!

No, but we might giggle at the unintentional double entendre

I'm also excited for this. I hope that the future will bring us some well executed PKD adaptations.

I really enjoyed A Scanner Darkly.

Philip Kindred Dick died in 1982. His role must be unusual.
