bowman9991 writes "Could this be the new Blade Runner? SFFMedia reports that Celluloid Dreams has obtained the movie rights to Philip K. Dick's science fiction masterpiece "Ubik". First published in 1969, Ubik's central character is Joe Chip, a technician for a telepathic organisation that employs people with the ability to block certain psychic powers so they can secure other people's privacy. In the novel the dead are kept in "half-life", a form of cryogenic suspension, with limited consciousness and communication ability, while a mystical substance called Ubik, available in spray can form, is the only thing stopping reality from disintegrating before Joe's eyes. It'll be hard to film, but fantastic if they get it right!"
