Scannered Darkly
Speaking of the future for Warner Independent Pictures, Moviola wonders what's gonna happen to the infinitely anticipated Spring flinging of A Scanner Darkly now that the indie head of the mainstream mass has been lopped at the neck. If anything, this is a flick which demands the likes of an Andreen to get it flicking.
As you may well know (if you've been anywhere near a Board lately), A Scanner Darkly is being helmed by Richard Linklater, scripted by Charlie Kaufman, banked by Clooney's Section 8, and stars the likes of Keanu and Woody and Winona. The book, one of utter Substance, was one of Philip K. Dick's finest. Pantheon is trotting out a companion graphic novel, Vintage is re-issuing the classic.
What stands to astound though is the adaptatist's genre-busting promise. Sci-Fi slacker anime, action adventure mystery, brought about by some of Hollywood's hippest minds, from a text by the word's most filmed authors. Perhasp there'll be a thaw after all.
