a scanner darkly

I don't know if this has been discussed her eor not. I didn't see it down the thread. I've seen this trailer quite a while ago and was just reminded of it today. Looks really cool. I especially like how they used rotoscoping to do it. Check it here

You think Keanue Reeves can pull off playing a confuse, slightly stupid character in this movie? I mena, I know it's a stretch for him and all, but I think he might be able to do it. ;) Of course, I'll probably still go see it.

Through A Scanner Darkly is a Phillip K. Dick book- one of the ones I looked at when I heard that Paycheck was just a short story (which I kind of wanted to read as a short story- A Scanner Darkly was another story in the book)

It's the story about a cop who goes undercover to do a drug sting- but in a future where mind readers are common, there's no real way to go undercover- so police create alternate personalities, ones that can be taken on and off at will, so they can hunt criminals anyways.

I think it's the story of a cop who is hunting this huge drug dealer, who keeps outsmarting him somehow.

I'm not going to give you any spoilers, but I really want to see it.

or Neat-o, if you're feeling retro

That trailer was awesome- I had already seen the teaser, but not the trailer. Very cool. I'm looking forward to summer movies this year!

Yay Pirates! Yay Scanner Darkly!

I still like the boat idea. :P It could be produced by the same people who did Police Academy 4. ;D
