A Scanner Darkly audio and a CLIP from HBO's upcoming JOHN ADAMS -   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #132 of 313 |
Nothing like that online; the audio book is 9-1/2 hours, on 8 cds. I
got my copy through half dot com, for much less
than the list price, worth every dime.

Here's a great review of it from ssf audio.com: "Actor Paul
Giamatti (who had a supporting role in the film version of PKD's
Paycheck) was the perfect choice to read A Scanner Darkly. Giamatti's
on-screen characters only hint at his range and it took this
audiobook to showcase all that talent. This is an excellent
performance...His sympathetic portrayal of these drugged-out hippies
and drugged-up cops makes this Random House's A Scanner Darkly the
definitive reading of a Dick novel. Giamatti ably gives distinction
to the cast of losers and even carries off the German sequences
without a hitch. What blows me away about this production is that
Giamatti had expresed interest in being in the Linklater film version
of the same name, Giamatti has stated in multiple interviews that he
is a fan of PKD's work. Giamatti has even been approached to play PKD
in a film adaptation of Dick's life! Wouldn't that be a hoot!"

Plus here's a clip from HBO's upcoming John Adams film, starring Paul
and Laura Linney:

PS: The link above gets cut off, so dont use it, just copy and paste
it in its entirety to see the clip.
