Philip K Dick? Excellent! (although I think the time is right for some Frederik Pohl and Neal Stephenson to get the Hollywood treatment).
Richard Linklater? Great!
Winona Ryder and.. and... Keanu Reeves?!? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The horror, the horror!

| That is such a great book, I can't believe that they're trying to ruin it. |

Well, I'm a lover of animation but you can only cell-shade Keanu's face to distract from his wooden acting and monotone speech patterns for so long... |

Keanu Reeves Slams Police State As Scanner Lights Up Cannes
Media suggest films show world is in sorry state
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | May 30 2006
Keanu Reeves has slammed the modern day police state and surveillance society, a centerpiece of the upcoming film in which he stars, during promotion for A Scanner Darkly at the Cannes film festival.
In A Scanner Darkly, the government, corporations and the elite conspire together to keep free thinking, free expression, freedom itself on the outside-- to facilitate a perceptive wall confining individuality itself to a realm doomed to the fringes.
The film chronicles how power interests exploit the drug war in order to create unthinking armies of drone servants and erect police state measures to prevent the people from ever glimpsing the dark truth behind a highly mechanized surveillance panopticon.
"Certain personal rights that were protected in the (U.S.) constitution for privacy are being chipped away at under the guise of homeland security without redress, and that's not good," Reeves told Reuters.

Several years ago the media tried to create a stereotype that Keanu Reeves isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, a complete 180 from the truth. Anyone that knows Reeves and has spoken in depth with him comes back with the same impression, that Keanu is a deeply engaged thinker and cares passionately about real issues.

that may be true, but he's still one of the worst actors around. |

Ouch.
Actually, the trailer made me very interesting in this movie. Looks like they shift from live-action to animation that is basically a redrawing of what was already filmed. Very innovative, in technique, methinks.
And it will be the first time Robert Downey Jr and Woody Harrelson have shgared a screen since Natural Born Killers, one of the funniest comedies ever filmed. |

Damn, and all the time I was hoping it would be the other way around ...  |

Damn, that was pretty mild. Now I actually feel bad about the last post I made referencing you. I'm sure that was all part of your master plan, you criminal mastermind. Damn you! |
