The Works of Philip K. Dick

"The Minority Report"

• Minority Report (2002)
  • Tom Cruise headlines this adapatation that is heavy on CGI but light on anything interesting.

"We Can Remember it For You Wholesale"

• Total Recall (1990)
  • Directed by Paul Verhoeven, this loose adaptation is the perfect merging on sci-fi and glorious 1990s action.
• Total Recall 2070
  • Meant to launch a TV spin-off of the 1990 film, this pilot movie instead fizzled with audiences and never went anywhere.
• Total Recall (2012)
  • A remake in name only, this film is all gloss and no substance with almost no connection to the original film.

Other Adaptations

  • Are people free to live their own lives or is there a guiding hand controlling us all?
• Paycheck
  • When an engineer loses two years of his life he has to figure out what happened with just a loose bag of clues given to him by his past self.
