Ridley Scott to Adapt THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE

TV Ridley Scott Science Fiction about 14 years agoby Joey Paur

Ridley Scott will be adapting yet another Philip K. Dick novel called The Man in the High Castle. A science fiction story that is placed in an alternate history, depicting a world in which the Axis powers, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, triumphed over the Allies in the Second World War, due to a 1933 assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The story will be adapted into a 4-hour miniseries that Scott will produce. Howard Brenton, the British playwright who’s also written for Spooks/MI-5, is adapting the 1963 Hugo Award-winning novel.

In 1982 Scott adapted Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which is the classic sci-fi film that we all came to know and love... Blade Runner.

I'll be looking forward to this! This story will make for a great series! I hope they put some solid production value into it. What do you all think?
