A Scanner Darkly (Trailer)

June 3, 2005

Animation/Thriller — Directed by Richard Linklater
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder

In suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop 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.

Wow, this trailer looks damn cool! Like a graphic novel come to life, with live action photography overlaid with animation - quite weird, yet damn cool. And with a cast like this, what could possibly go wrong? I like Keanu. He might not be the world’s best character actor, but if they only keep him from trying to be too normal, or British, he should be fine. Downey is always good. Yeah, always. He’s one of my all-time favorites. Woody is always great too, and I’ve always had a sweetspot for Winona. It is based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own drug experiences. Wow! I really hope it’s as cool as it looks. Can’t wait for March 2006, when it’s (hopefully) getting released.
