Ahira's Hangar

Wow! Excellent set of articles on the topic of PKD and Hollywood from Wired Magazine:

Many of the Dick properties slated for production are discussed, as well as how his estate is handled. The first article is fairly long, but it's not the whole 7 pages, so you might wanna skip around. <i></i>

I'm a big PKD fan and I just can't stand what they do to his stories when they are made into movies. The most offensive was Total Recall. It's based on a short story, perhaps 20 pages long. I think they used 3 pages from the beginning. The real ending was far better. What they came up with wasn't anything I'd imagine he'd write.

I'm afraid to watch Paycheck. So far, Blade Runner is the only one I care for and at least he had some input on that.

Dream... a faithful rendition of UBIQ.

Any1 seen Paycheck yet? I hear it's cliche filled but otherwise pretty good... *****
