Philip K. Dick’s life to be remembered for us wholesale in upcoming biopic
The legendary science fiction author wrote the inspirations for Blade Runner and Total Recall
Philip K. Dick, one of the most revered names in science fiction, didn’t have an easy life. Beset by drug usage, paranoia, a suicide attempt, and the death of his twin sister in infancy, the Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep author explored his fractured psyche through his work. And throughout the middle of the 20th century, Dick wrote some of the most famous and beloved works of science fiction, including the inspirations for movies and TV shows like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and The Man In The High Castle.
After decades of cinematic adaptations of the late author’s work, his life story will now hit the silver screen. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Shetack is producing a biopic based on the Dick biography Only Apparently Real by Paul Williams, a friend of the late author. Michael Richter wrote the script and is producing, too.
