Do androids dream of electric sheep
Blade runner is my favorite movie.

Was worried it would be more action than scifi thriller but didn't disappoint imo.

Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
Yeah, had a similar concern; Villeneuve did a good job though.
Hopefully he doesn't screw up Dune...

Dune never translated well to film for me.

Time to die ... love Blade Runner
Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
Really have to agree. The book was better by a long shot and the studios always did a halfassed job. Maybe if they had treated it more along the lines of Star Wars shows by serializing it rather than cutting corners to cram it into a short story.

Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
I think that Herbert's style is too intricate, too verse and interior monologue driven for there to be a TRUE adaption. I really enjoyed the book series, been through it a couple times.
That said, I so really enjoy (despite some faults) the 84' Lynch movie. The casting, music and visuals were on a level like nothing else for it's time. I enjoy it as it's own entity.
That said if Villeneuve can pull off the first book there is hope we'll get to see later elements like Omnius, which I think would translate well, and we finally have the resources to make into a movie.

Not yet, I'll have to check that out.
Another major book series I'm looking forward to seeing on tv is Asimov's Foundation.

Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
Issac Asimov and Philip K Dick, well that covers most of my fiction section here at home.
Does anyone have any idea if you will have to have "Apple TV" to see the Foundation?

Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
The Foundation Trilogy was the first major book (series) I read. That was back in 5th grade. Gave me my start in SF.

Re: Do androids dream of electric sheep
