A film company has just bought three-year, first-look rights to the entire collection of Dick stories and novels that have yet to be turned into movies. It is a rare writer who can inspire this kind of commitment from fans. Just listen to this:

SF Signal readers are talking about why Dick's stories lend themselves so well to other media, as well as proposing new films.
