"The Man in the High Castle" mini-series!

[Plain Old Tele]

Pretty awesome: Sy-Fy, partnering with Ridley Scott and Scott Free Productions, is developing a 4-part mini-series on Philip K. Dick's famous alternate history book "The Man in the High Castle" (which  is set in a 1960s America after Germany won WWII). Frank Spotnitz will be one of the EPs (he was a writer/producer on "The X-Files").

 

I'm pretty excited.

Yep that was a nice read, and should be pretty scriptable too, it's rather straightforward for Dick. As of today, there were a lot of interesting films realised after P.K.Dick-stories but few that dared to take him serious. As good as "Blade Runner" or "Total Recall" were, they didn't scratch the skin of his tales. "The Plan" dared to scratch but cooped out into a sentimental love story. And other films that "went Dick", like the Matrix, never came near the disturbing precariousness of Dick's tales.
