There are things movies do better than comics and most comics really try to be movies. This was a graphic novel that used the pacing, space, and time that exists in the graphic novel in a way that won't work in a movie. I hope it'll be a nice little mystery, but I don't plan on the movie capturing the magic of the graphic novel.

I really liked A Scanner Darkly (easily the best movie made from a PKD novel, and one of my favorite movies), but I don't count it when talking about Hollywood adaptions of his work. It was an independent movie that had a very limited release, and didn't attempt to attract a wide, mainstream audience, so comparing it to Minority Report or Paycheck is unfair.

After waiting 20 years for something to be produced, I really hope it's done right. And you're also right on with the PKD thing, although I did like A Scanner Darkly...

And you’re also right on with the PKD thing, although I did like A Scanner Darkly…
