Man In The High Castle was a kick ass book. Dick definitely deserves to be mentioned with some of the sci-fi greats of late.

[...] Movie Crunch has conveniently listed all of the films that have been made with screenplays based on the stories of Philip K. Dick. Most people know about Blade Runner and Total Recall. How many have heard of Paycheck (one of the more faithful adaptations; great cast but uninspired acting) or Next with Nicholas Cage as Dick’s “Golden Man”? My own favorite is A Scanner Darkly; here’s the trailer for this roto-scoped rendered film. [...]

[...] Les ouvrages de P.K. Dick célèbres pour leur description visionnaire d’environnements hautement technologiques, révèlent en fait une analyse bien plus pertinente sur le plan de l’évolution des comportements humains. Le propos tend alors vers un questionnement d’ordre sociologique et philosophique qui naît des nouveaux rapports qui émergent entre humains désormais “augmentés” (Substance Mort), entre humains et machines désormais “humanisées” (Ubik) et dans les rapports directs (sans intervention humaine) de Machines à Machines. Lorsque, enfin, l’individu n’est pas humain (au sens “génétique” du terme), il se pose paradoxalement ? des questions existentielles relatives à son identité et à ses origines (Blade Runner). Un humain mis en abîme par la technologie, projeté dans des temps et des réalités multiples, entrainé dans une chute vertigineuse qui accompagne son délire paranoïaque où il ne distingue plus le vrai du faux, le réel du virtuel et où le temps est une matière maléable.

Paycheck wasn’t that bad, I think. It was closer to the original novel and had better story than Next.
Next is the worst “adaption” yet. How can you take a satirical story about a fascist police state, and make it a patriotic story about the “need to give up our rights in the war against terror”? And who are the terrorists in the movie? They speak german, french, italian… What do they want? How do they know about Nicolas Cages character, and do they have any other agenda besides killing the man that can foresee their crimes? The movie has fatal plot-holes and the only reason they kept the “based on the novel by…”-line is so they could sell a few more tickets.

I think that at least the first half of Paychek was good and close to the original. The ending was a bit to happy and hollywoodesque, but the same thing can be said about Minority Report.

DaveUK: Wish it were so, but I, Robot is actually based on Isaac Asimov’s novel of the same name.
