In accordance with , Humans writers Jonathan Brackley and Sam Vincent are engaged on an adaptation of Philip Okay. Dick’s 1953 novella, The Variable Man. The present is being produced by Motive Photos in a partnership with Electrical Shepherd Productions, which is run by the late creator’s daughter, Isa Dick Hackett. The Variable Man follows a tinkerer turned unintentional time traveler named Thomas Cole, who’s transported from 1913 into the longer term and all of a sudden finds himself a reluctant participant in an interplanetary battle.

It’s being written for a UK broadcaster, in keeping with Deadline, however there could also be hope for a US launch. “Once you’ve received Sam and John doing what they did so brilliantly with People and exploring the fashionable world by means of a style lens, it’s one thing that may completely appeal to broadcasters within the US,” Motive CEO Simon Maxwell instructed the publication. I actually loved The Variable Man again after I learn it and I’ll give any PKD adaptation an opportunity, so right here’s hoping we get one other good one on this collection.
