Keanu Reeves’ next entry into the world of scifi has hit another bump in the road causing a further delay in its release date.

“A Scanner Darkly,” is the screen adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s hearlded novel about a future paranoid world where it is commonplace for neighbor to spy on neighbor and friend to betray friend. The feature co-stars an award winning cast including Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder.

As we reported last year, the Richard Linklater film was originally scheduled for a September 2005 release. That was moved to March of this year, and now has been postponed until this summer for a July 2006 theater date.

Reasons for the delays are not clear, however some inside sources cite that it has to do with post-production problems in melding the live action sequences with its highly sophisticated animation processes.
