Ubik Screenplay

Commissioned in 1974 by Jean-Pierre Gorin, Philip K. Dick wrote the screenplay adaptation of his finest novel Ubik. While the film was never produced, the screenplay was finally published in 1985 as a 1200 copy limited from Corroboree Press, complete with four full color tipped in plates by Doug Rice. This was the only print edition of the screenplay, until now.

Subterranean Press released this announcement:

[W]e’ve reached agreement to publish two of Philip K. Dick’s works. The first, Nick and the Glimmung, is a YA sf novel making its first US appearance, and first publication anywhere in nearly 20 years. The second is Dick’s own screenplay adaptation of his novel Ubik, which appeared from a small press in the mid-eighties, and has been out of print since. We’re still in the process of selecting an artist for the YA novel, but Ubik: the Screenplay, will sport a cover by Dave McKean.

It's about time someone reprinted the screenplay. I am surprised with the sustained PKD hoopla of the past 20 years, that it's taken this long.
