Then there's always the el supremo of all PKD novels - The Man in the High Castle.
New Total Recall movie - Will it be a winner?

I'm going to predict a domestic BO disaster, with some ground made up in foreign markets. Foreigners don't seem to care what garbage they watch. I'm starting to wonder if they mainly watch movies for the theater's air conditioning.
Believe it or not, there have been rumors of it being adapted to TV as a miniseries. But no updates recently; probably dead.

Yeah, it seems a little weird to remake a hit movie made by two people who were right at the top of their game (Verhoeven and Arnold) with a "B" list director and a star who has never been able to generate hit movie on his own during a fifteen year career. (Not a slam on Farrell, BTW, just noting that he seems to work best as a character actor despite his leading man looks)
That being said, there always have been-and will be-remakes and I can't get too upset about them. I generally just ignore them and figure they'll succeed or fail on their own merits, even if I may occasionally wonder (here or privately) 'what they were thinking.'
Not to mention that--right or wrong--too many people would hear that a sci-fi movie was coming out about a hero whose "power" was fixing pottery, set in a future dystopia, and think "that's the dumbest thing since 'the Postman.'"
Yep. Perhaps some stories are best left on the printed page (or e-reader). Any depiction of the Glimmung on screen couldn't do it justice.
This is often the same with superhero movies. The image of Wonder Woman flying around in her invisible plane is one that would not work in any form.
Unless her clothing was also invisible, in which case -.

I think I hear the sound of one hand clapping.
