Wow. Ok I feel A LOT better about this film now. I had some faith, but not much. This is one of my favorite PKD books so I was hoping it would be ruined like most of his other stories. Looks awesome, but I don't know how it will do with people not in the know...or into (non kiddie) animation for that matter.

This may have Keanu's worst line delivery yet:

Thanks for the direct link, RyoHazuki! *downloads*

And oddly, DGibFen, I thought Keanu delivered that line well. I still have my doubts about him playing the lead (when I read the book, I imagined a younger Jack Nicholson), but nothing in this trailer made me cringe.

I'm just hoping that the inevitable DVD release includes a feature which includes scenes from the film in their original live action state (similar to Waking Life's DVD).

That was some pretty cool shit...............I may just have to check this one out.

There's a link where you can download instead of streaming. This whole thing works for me due to the fact that I am an obsessive person who thinks that this is one of my favorite books ever read. Let’s put that person on my back burner for a moment…

I totally imagined the scrambler suits differently. I thought that they’d be cascading facial images at a frame rate equivalent to video. I like the gradual ID shift. Like: the suit is setting up resonant images that interfere with facial recognition for the whole day. More like walking through a large public event than having mug shots blasted at you. You naturally forget the mannerisms and voice as you would in a crowd.

I cannot wait. This looks right on so far. Even the parts with Arctor’s drug kingpin lifestyle complete with bizarre entourage of slacker junkies (fuckin’ perfect casting) still look as ‘70’s as they feel in the book.

I’m full of hope given that his living trust is involved. I guess we’ll see.

(Douglas Adams’ family is supposed to be involved in Hitchhiker’ Guide, too. I guess we just have to wait and see.)

Looks awesome! Keanu is the best!

This
Looks
Magnificent.

I kinda liked how:

Looks kewl.

looking awesome for the original fans
 

I’m almost done with my second read of the book and I have this to report.

Every line of dialogue in the preview (while slightly modernized) is accurate to a fault.
The Robert Downey line: “I could be mur-dered.” Is so Barris while he's in custody is painfully awesome. The "bathroom window" comment by Luckman (while apparently in front of Arctor's car on a flatbed) alludes to the whole gas pedal scene on the freeway (and the mysterious conversation about the front door activated tape recorder).

The association tests between the hands to diagnose Arctor are right on.

I can NOT wait!

(This novel gave me tears.)

If they get the last scene right (with the shoe and the flower), this will be one of my favorite films ever.

Thanks for the hope-raising comparisons! I need to read it again before the movie comes out.

It's now opening 3/06

That really sucks. It's easily one of my favorite novels, and since I saw the trailer, I've been waiting with baited breath for any and all new information, pictures, and footage. Damn.

cheers,

They better take that phrase "coming soon" off the end of the preview. People might get antsy.

At first I read that as March 6th rather than March of 2006, and I got really excited. Ah well. I just hope it doesn't get delayed any more.

I think both Donna and Bob/Fred are miscast. I can't really decide which one's worse. Still, I don't think that's a deal breaker.

Barris (especially) and Luckman seem really great though.

my buddy showed me the trailer this weekend, i didn't even know about this movie before that, looks pretty damn cool.

Twichfilm is reporting that the music score of the film may be handled by none other than... Radiohead.

some screen-shots from the movie:
