Here is the trailer for the 2001 film, Planet of the Apes.
Philip K. Dick
March 31st, 2009
Since his untimely death at age 53, there has been an extraordinary growth of interest in Dick’s writings. During his lifetime, the stories he wrote were largely ignored by mainstream critics and readers. That is no longer the case, and the novels of Philip K. Dick frequently appear on lists of the best science-fiction stories. Since 1982, when Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (based on Dick’s novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) made its debut, eight feature films based on Dick’s stories have appeared, the other seven being Total Recall, Minority Report, Screamers, Impostor, Confessions d’un Barjo (based on Dick’s mainstream novel, Confessions of a Crap Artist), Paycheck, A Scanner Darkly and Next.
Philip K. Dick has become a huge literary author present not merely in America but in world culture, with his works translated into many different languages. There is even an adjective known as ”phildickian.” It makes its way into print now and then to describe cofusing twists and turns of modern-day events. An understanding of the basic facts of Dick’s life not only casts light on the themes that are dominant in his writings, but also brings to view a thrilling story in its own right.
