A Scanner Darkly

Set in suburban Orange County, California ina future where America has lost the war on drugs, one reluctant undercover cop (Reeves) is ordered to start spying on his friends. He is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Fick and his own experiences. Like a graphic novel come to life, A Scanner Darkly will use live action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process (interpolated rotoscoping) to create a haunting, highly stylized vision of the future.
