Bryan Cranston To Produce and Star in ELECTRIC DREAMS: THE WORLD OF PHILIP K. DICK
The Hollywood Reporter recently announced that Bryan Cranston has signed up to executive produce/star in Electric Dreams: The World of Philip K. Dick. The 10-part drama anthology series will be based on the short stories by award-winning sci-fi novelist Philip K. Dick.
Battlestar Galactica and Outlander executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore is teaming up with Cranston and director Michael Dinner (Justified, Masters of Sex) to develop the series. According to the report:
Each episode is set to be a standalone drama, adapted and modernized for global audiences by a creative team of British and American writers. The series will both illustrate the writer’s prophetic vision and celebrate the enduring appeal of his works, which include The Man in the High Castle, A Scanner Darkly and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which became Ridley Scott's hit Blade Runner.
Dick is also responsible for writing the stories that were adapted into films like Total Recall, Minority Report, and The Adjustment Bureau. The man was truly talented and I am excited to see what they do with this mini-series.
The production has not started yet, and as of right now no release date has been announced. There is also no information on when the miniseries will hit other markets other than in the UK. The lack of information is killing me, but we will keep you up to date as more details are released.
