SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board / Books / The Official Phillip K. Dick Thread
Posted by: sheepdogg_plankton (Guest), January 30th, 2004, 2:02pm
I discovered Phil K Dick after I went and saw paycheck, a movie that I really liked. So, I read the short story, and now will read any Phil K Dick story. I recently wrote a short movie based on THE KING OF THE ELVES, and uploaded it to Simplyscripts. Any other Phil fans out there?

I used to read a lot of his stuff as a kid. I really liked DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP. Six months after I read it, a movie called BLADE RUNNER was released, based on the novel and directed by the great Ridley Scott.
MINORITY REPORT, PAYCHECK and SCREAMERS (underrated sci-fi flick) are all based on his works. Definately good shit.

I hate to say it, because you gave some good feedback on BATTLE, but I hated Screamers. DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP, on the other hand, ruled. I really liked MINORITY REPORT. Also, A SCANNER DARKLY, and UBIK, were really underrated.

I can't believe I never saw this thread. Phillip K. Dick rules. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is probably the strangest book I've ever read.

haha
a scanner darkly....i hope they don't ruin this movie. paycheck was a pretty bad adaptation. minority report was okay. the running man just sucked.
also, if they turned Ubik into a movie, that'd be sweet.
philip k. dick is the undisputed literary king of parallel reality!
