PKD’s Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said next up for Halcyon

Halcyon has the first-look right to adapt material of the legendary SF writer Philip K. Dick. We all know that PKD’s material has been spun into films that reside on the entire spectrum of quality – from Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Total Recall, Minority Report, and now Halcyon has announced – from Cannes – that Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said will be the next project.

Variety is reporting that Electric Shepherd Prods — the production arm of Dick’s estate — will work with Halycon’s Kubicek and Anderson to develop/produce the project. We are going to see Halcyon’s worth very soon as they are behind Terminator Salvation.

Like most of PKD’s work, the synopsis of the novel sounds like a perfect movie pitch:

Jason Taverner is a Six, the result of top secret government experiments forty years before which produced a handful of unnaturally bright and beautiful people – and he’s the prime-time idol of millions until, inexplicably, all record of him is wiped from the data banks of Earth. Suddenly he’s a nobody in a police state where nobody is allowed to be a nobody. Will he ever be rich and famous again? Was he, in fact, ever rich and famous?

    
I’m a big fan of all things PKD, and I collect pulps have multiple copies of issues containing his first stories:
