let's see...story seems to be okay, but I wonder if lollywood will ever make a good movie, where you can`t tell everything yourself from the beginning to the end.

I'm going to just have faith they didn't muck this one up, even though most of the P.K.Dick adaptations since Blade Runner have been middle of the road. I should admit I'd a tad biased (consider my nickname) towards the story and have been waiting for this one. While it does feature well known actors in semi-ttypical roles for them (keanu reeves in sci-fi? no really?), but if you've seen Waking Life you should have at least a passing interest in what Linklater is going to do with this one.

we'll see. the story i heard was that this is a real labor of love. it was done for only $9million so that the studio would not have control over it. all the actors worked for scale (keanu usually gets like
$200 mil, he took $70,000 like everyone else). alex jones was the consultant for the police state mechanism and has a cameo role.
