Very few novels can be transcribed directly from the page to the screen (The Maltese Falcon comes to mind, ommitting a scene only because it was too graphic to pass Hayes Code censors). Dick's fiction is especially challenging to film (but of course wonderful to imagine) because his stories rely on the simmering internal monologues of the characters for much of their punch. His whimsical complexity often does not translate. And we are naive as fans if we believe a movie can do justice to many of his novels without significantly changing their narratives. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is my favorite novel. I hope and dread the day that film opens (and friends I have no doubt -- someday it will open) in theaters. Though I feel that Stigmata is Dick's best novel, I know it will take significant reworking to accomplish anything onscreen.
