Attack of the sci-fi novel adaptations

While many of the most famous sci-fi novels have made it to the screen, the deman💎d for sweet, sweet raw material to feed the Hollywood machine remains at an all-time h𓃲igh.

So it comes as no surprise that Philip K Dick – whose novels have given us the likes of Blade Runner and A Scanner Darkly – is still considered a prime target for adaptation. The latest of his books snapped up is UBIK, which his daughter, Isa Dick Hackett and production company Celluloid Dreams want to turn into a movie. We say good luck to ‘em – they’ll need it, as UBIK is a tricky tale set in a futuristic alterna-universe where an explosion on the moon has the main characters questioning reality. Prime Dick material, then… Variety is dreaming of android sheep .
