data Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The BBC have commissioned a four-part adaptation of The Man in the High Castle for BBC One which will be made by the BBC, FremantleMedia Enterprises and Scott Free Films. Ridley Scott, who directed Blade Runner, a loose adaptation of another Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, will act as executive producer.

Atop Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 such a safe PKD novel to make into a film.... I have no faith in Ridley Scott... and there seems to be a curse on anyone who tries to make his stories into film... yes Blade Runner is great but it is not really a PKD story but a remix of one... A Scanner Darkly is my favourite adaptation but it still feels more like a Linklater film than a PKD novel, it has Keanu Reeves in it, and it is one of the most depressing, barely sci-fi of all his books.... no hope G I Jane Robin Hood Man in the High Castle Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Atop's signature Hide all signatures music by ATOPdj mixes by ATOP https://woodbetweenworlds.bandcamp.com/album/777 https://auralcanyonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/once-i-was-as-you-are-now Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/60402-man-in-the-high-castle-to-be-made-by-ridley-scott/#findComment-1433092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna make up my mind about this until I see some trailers/cast/directors etc... at least from what data said Ridley Scott probably won't be directing.

Silent Member Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) I think this will be great, Ridley is a good director even though the scripts he choses these days aren't always up to scratch, to say the least.

blackdust Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Man in the high castle is one of the only PKD books i have yet to read, im half way into Martian time slip at the moment. Ridley Revisting Alien, and now another PDK novel maybe he finally had enough of epic movies like Robin Hood and Gladiator Edited October 10, 2010 by blackdust Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/60402-man-in-the-high-castle-to-be-made-by-ridley-scott/#findComment-1433375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valis should never be made into a film. But if they were going to do it I would like to see Terence malick direct Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures 백호야~~~항상에 사랑할거예요.나의 아들.

Guest acknowledgeandproceed Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Ubik would be a really solid film. I've seen things along the lines of it pop up in The Outer Limits. VALIS would be difficult, for the action taking place in the head of the protagonist/PKD, and along those lines Radio Free Albemuth, it's so mundane in many ways that Hollywood would seek to "spruce it up" and subsequently ruin it. Certain directors would be appropriate. Just don't let Zach Snyder near any of it. One movie adaptation that, if altered only slightly, would be quite great is the Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Another that could do with some treatment would be The Divine Invasion. Confessions of a Crap Artist is terrible. Movie might be better.
