Based on legendary science fiction author Philip K. Dick’s own experiences, A Scanner Darkly tells the darkly comedic, caustic and deeply tragic tale of drug use in the modern world. The film plays like a graphic novel come to life with live-action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process—a method known as interpolated rotoscoping, first employed in writer/director Richard Linklater’s 2001 film "Waking Life" — to create a haunting version of America, seven years from now. A Scanner Darkly stars Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Rory Cochrane.
