Halcyon Co. co-founders and co-CEOs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson, who picked up first-look rights to sci-fi author Philip K. Dick’s estate in 2007, have selected his 1974 novel “Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said” as the first of his works they will adapt for the screen, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Set in a futuristic, dystopian world, “Tears” is the tale of a celebrity who wakes up after an assassination attempt to find no one has ever heard of him.
Isa Dick Hackett and Laura Leslie, co-founders of Electric Shepherd Prods., the production arm of the Dick estate, will develop the work alongside Kubicek and Anderson. Dale Rosenbloom and John Alan Simon also will produce.
