The life of legendary sci-fi author Philip K. Dick is getting the biopic treatment from producer Jon Shestack and writer Michael Richter.
Science fiction author Philip K. Dick, whose work inspired the films Blade Runner and Total Recall, is getting the Oppenheimer-Monroe treatment, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The biopic, titled Only Apparently Real, is in its early stages and is being produced by Air Force One's Jon Shestack and written by "lawyer-turned-scribe" Michael Richter.
Philip K. Dick penned 44 novels and over 100 short stories in his short lifetime before dying at the age of 53 in 1982. His work, heavy in paranoia and reality vs. perception, spanned most of his life, but Dick didn't receive much notoriety until his novel The Man in the High Castle earned him a Hugo Award for Best Novel. He followed it up with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and more with themes that explored theology and the nature of reality.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Perhaps just as peculiar as his fiction, Dick's harried life is what inspired Shestack to really dig into the idea of a biopic. It was after years of drug abuse that the author's science fiction slipped from What If...
Richter, who both wrote and is producing Only Apparently Real, is best known for his work writing and producing the 2013 indie film Torn which starred Faran Tahir and maintains a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Shestack produced the "Harrison Ford thriller" Air Force One as well as the oddly depressing comedy-drama Dan in Real Life with Steve Carrell.
