~Live-action footage is strikingly overlaid with animation in this visuality dazzling adaptation of Philip K Dick's twisted tale of government surveillance and drug addiction in the not-too-distant future~ Film Title: A Scanner Darkly Based on the 1977 novel by Philip K. Dick Release Date: July 7, 2007 Director: Richard Linklater Cast and Characters: Keanu Reeves as Fred/Bob Arctor Rory Cochrane as Freck Robert Downey Jr. as Barris Woody Harrelson as Luckman Winona Ryder as Donna About the Film "A Scanner Darkly" is set in suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own experiences. Like a graphic novel come to life, "A Scanner Darkly" will use live action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process (interpolated rotoscoping) to create a haunting, highly stylized vision of the future. The technology, first employed in Richard Linklater’s 2001 film "Waking Life," has evolved to produce even more emotional impact and detail.
