Ridley Scott made his name directing the stylishly dystopian Blade Runner, which was loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Now he plans to executive-produce a four-part BBC1 mini-series based on The Man in the High Castle, the seminal alternative-history novel depicting an America that lost the war against Germany and Japan.
I expect it to be stylishly dystopian and only loosely based on the original story — which was itself stylishly dystopian and only loosely plotted via random I Ching selections.
