Will Smith is starring in a new sci-fi action movie based on Isaac Asimov's novel. Action set in my hood (Chicago).

There have been quite a few movies based on Philip K Dick novels and short stories. "Total Recall" was based on "We Can Remember it for you Wholesale," "Blade Runner" was based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," and there were also "Paycheck," "The Minority Report," and "Imposter." Granted, the Hollywood script-writers took liberties in order to make movies that were more accessable to the general public, but the translation from paper to screen wasn't all that bad.Menschenfresser said:There have been some movies but they have not proliferated enough to delve the likes of Heinlein or Dick or Asimov.
"Flip six three hole on one and you can score."Mephisto said:Don't get me started on "Starship Troopers." What a joke that turned out to be.
Indeed, a lot of the movie adaptations have been pretty good, or at least intriguing. They haven't always had A-list production values, though.Anyway, I hardly think Dick has been ignored.
Didn't see the mini-series, since I heard that it was pretty bad. Dune from 1983 was written and directed by David Lynch, of "Twin Peaks" fame. Kubrick had nothing to do with that project as far as I know. It would have been a much different movie if Kubrick were behind the camera.Also of note are two made-for-SciFi-Channel miniseries based on Frank Herbert's "Dune" and "Children of Dune." Both of which stayed true to the original novels and were much better than the Stanley Kubrick debacle from the '80's.
