“Flow My Tears” Optioned

The next Philip K. Dick novel to make the jump to the big-screen will be “Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.”

Published in 1974, “Policeman” is your typical, mind-bending, paranoia-infused PKD novel, focusing on a celebrity who wakes up after an assassination attempt to find no one has ever heard of him in a future dystopian world.

The movie would be the first from Halcyon Co. co-founders and co-chief executives Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson, who picked up the rights to produce big-screen adaptations of PKD novels from the author’s estate.  “Policeman” is reported to be the first of several PKD stories and novels that will be coming to a theater near you in the future.

Isa Dick Hackett and Laura Leslie, co-founders of Electric Shepherd Productions, the production arm of the Dick estate, will develop the work alongside Kubicek and Anderson. Dale Rosenbloom and John Alan Simon also will produce.
