A new movie set to hit the big screen this summer depicts a near future America that has lost the war on drugs and capitulated into the tentacles of a pervasive control grid. A Scanner Darkly represents the latest example of a refreshing and burgeoning trend in Hollywood that seeks to enlighten the viewer into recognizing the real world prison barriers being erected around society today.

The movie is based on the book of the same name by Philip K. Dick and is filmed in interpolated rotoscoping style, whereby live action photography is overlaid with an advanced animation process. This gives the impression of a graphic novel come to life and has the same unique impression as director Richard Linklater's previous cult classic, Waking Life.


The brand new second trailer has just been posted online. Click HERE (http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wip/us/med/scanner_darkly/scanner_darkly_a_tlr2_500.asx) for Windows Media, click HERE (http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wip/us/med/scanner_darkly/scanner_darkly_a_tlr2_qt_500.mov) for QuickTime.

The film has a raft of A-list stars, including Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey Jr.

Due to continued delays while the project is being perfected, anticipation of its release has been running high for over a year.


The next few years will see a rash of new releases that closely parallel reality as the New World Order seeks to put in place the final jigsaw pieces of totalitarian control, empire and tyranny.

The fact that the alternative truth and enlightenment movement resonates so well in Hollywood and that it is now seen as cool and urbane can only help our efforts to reach more people.

It also puts the final nail in the coffin of belated cultural stereotyping and media bias that attempted to portray enquiring minds as backwards toothless tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists.

That stereotype can now be thrown on the dust heap of history as a growing army of self-educated and motivated individuals seek to grasp victory from the jaws of defeat and save America from total annihilation.

Philip K. Dick was a visionary decades ahead of his time. A Scanner Darkly represents both a warning and a shining tribute to the abilities of a prominent new crop of Hollywood producers and directors.

A Scanner Darkly must be commended for its artistic flair and bold intellectual stance. We are sure that it will join the tide of change in making Americans think for themselves and devise creative new ways to reach new people and spread the truth about what is taking place in our world.

What's interesting is both the conservatives and liberals fear the same thing. An oppressive police state that crushes are liberties. What's funny is the belief in the police state is the same but each side blames the other for being the possible police state menace.

During the Clinton years, conservatives accussed Bill and Hillary as being a big govt. threat.

Now during the Bush years, both conservatives and liberals are accussing the Bush Administration of laying the ground work of a police state turnover.

What is clear is both sides of the isle fear a police state but might argue who is going to be responsible for the police state.

One thing for sure, the current administration has many people on both sides wondering with the Bush Administrations secrecty, support of the anti-constitutional Patriot Act, secret prisons, questionable war, ect...

Oh liberals and conservatives will have it out over abortion, gun control, social programs, and such but more and more agree the Bush Administration has brought us closer to a police state than any other

To be honest, my biggest fear from 9/11 was not terrorism, it is what would be done in the name of fighting terrorism. I think it's good that such movies are being made. People need to be aware that polliticians will take our freedoms away if we let them.
