Man in the High Castle, Phillip K. Dick's Classic Post-WW2 Alternate History novel to be made into a mini-series
Noted on IO9 yesterday, Phillip K. Dick (PKD), the author of some very impressive novels (which have been made into some terrible movies, such as A Scanner Darkly), will have his classic of post World War 2 alternate history, the Man in the High Castle, made into a mini-series. Before the groaning starts (which is quite understandable after "Paycheck"), it will be made by the BBC and directed by Ridley Scott (Aliens, the upcoming Forever War, and the best remake of a PKD movie, Blade Runner). Quite a relief as opposed to someone of the likes of SyFy getting their hands on this script.

@Rafael, I agree completely. BBC has a good reputation for being faithful to the source material.

One can only hope! I'm simply relieved that the production is being overseen by the BBC, and not SyFy or a big Hollywood company.

Ridley Scott's name on this means it could really be something great.

No Problem. I just like being a jerk sometimes. ;) Cool article though! Thanks for posting/informing us!
