"A Scanner Darkly" trailer

[prog]

It's OK if you say "Whoa." every time Keanu says something.

I like how the trailer credits PKD by name. And I like the suggestion that the animation will be used as a sort of continuous special effect (see how the people's faces shift), as opposed to just a distinct visual style.

It's such a weird title for a movie, though, with the adverb just dangling there, pointing at nothing. I wonder how people will react to it. (There's an intentionally missing word in Dick's title; it's a pun on the phrase "through a glass darkly" but split in two. Appropriately enough.)

Dude! Richard Linklater! I had no idea. Awesome.

If you want to see more of that style of animation, check out his Waking Life, or Lars von Trier's The Five Obstructions. I have both on tape, if you ever find a spare VCR.
