5Īs this passage implies, Hollywood was late in calling on his work, and only towards the very end of his life was Dick making anything like an income from selling his work. Celebrated though he was in sci-fi circles, it was only in the 30 years after his death that his fame gradually grew - as of 2009, adaptations of hrs novels and short stories grossed an estimated total of $lbn at the box office. But despite his prolific output, and the success of the adaptations of his work - most famously Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report - Dick passed away in relative obscurity. Such major direct and indirect influence on mainstream cinema seems particularly perplexing, given PKD’s outsider status during his lifetime, and his late recognition even as an exceptional sci-fi author:Īmerican author Philip Kindred Dick died in 1982, leaving behind an astonishing 41 novels and around 120 short stories. Not only are some of the most absorbing cult films of the past three decades adaptations of Dick’s fiction (predominately short stories) - e.g., Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1990), Minority Report (2002), A Scanner Darkly (2006) 2 several other films revealing to their heroes that they are in fact living fake or manipulated lives, such as The Matrix (1999) or The Truman Show (1998), 3 are like PKD clones, just as The Sixth Sense (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001), The Others (2001), Inception (2010), Dark City (1998), eXistenZ (1999), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), and Looper (2012), to name a few, also have distinct PKD DNA: they all share his ‘what-if thought-experiment premises, are variations on his obsessions, or play riffs on his themes and motifs, such as “repressed memories, false pasts, strange doubles and simulated realities.” 4 1 Insofar as they have one common father, his name is unquestionably Philip K. during transit.It seems the family resemblance among so many of the films we label mind-games or puzzle films is no accident.
