Quote - As to the Philip K Dick stories - whilst I think that certain liberties have been taken regarding the story arc (and characterisation, and so many other things) in films based on his work, the one thing I have always found is that the world-setting has always been almost completely immersive. PKD films always seem to attract directors who have a 'thing' for creating believable worlds - Scott's future LA, for example, or Verhoeven's use of the media to create a setting that feels complete. As such, I've always found them entertaining films - even Paycheck!JonTheCelt

 

After seeing "A Scanner Darkly", I am convinced that you don't need a big budget and lots of CGI for most PKD novels. Most of his books have only one or two little bits of tech, or are in claustriphobic environments (interior of a spaceship). I actually felt that "A Scanner Darkly" was truer to the author than Bladerunner, Total Recall etc.

I would love someone to do a live action version of Ubik, which is my favorite PKD novel.

As to CG movies -- almost anything (other than the cut-ups) by William S. Burroughs would be good. Another good one which would practicaly have to be CG is Asimov's "The Gods Themselves",with its aliens. I'd also like to see Abott's "Flatland".
