Warner Bros., the studio that released BLADE RUNNER 20 years ago, has snagged the rights to A SCANNER DARKLY, Philip K. Dick's story of drug addiction for Steven Soderberg and George Clooney's Section 8 production company.
The book, a fictionalized account of Dick's drug troubles, tells the story of a drug cop from the future who has an alter ego strung out as an addict.
SCANNER has been bouncing around Hollywood for years, and was once set up at Universal with Leonardo DiCaprio set to star from a script by BEING JOHN MALKOVICH's Charlie Kaufman.
The movie is being contemplated as some sort of animated film, so it is not known if Soderbergh will direct or Clooney will star.
