ROTH TALKS NEXT PROJECT

Veteran film producer Joe Roth (The Forgotten) told SCI FI Wire that
his company, Revolution Studios, is moving forward with Next, a
big-screen adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden
Man."

Roth added that he is undaunted by the spotty track record of recent
Dick-inspired films, such as Impostor, Minority Report and Paycheck.
Nicolas Cage (Face/Off) has signed on to star in the SF film, which
Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day) will direct.

"I don't look at these things as an anthology or a collection," Roth
said in an interview. "I only look at the screenplay I read." Roth
added, "What worked about the screenplay is in the title: the notion
that someone can actually see what's about to happen next [and thus
change the future]. And it's the curse of that and how valuable that
is to people who want to misuse it. In this case, there are
governments. It's that conflict."

Roth praised Tamahori and Cage. "I think that Lee is a really
interesting director, and Nic is a very interesting actor who can play
both an action figure and kind of a tortured guy," he said. "It
certainly felt like it worked for me." Gary Goldman, who previously
wrote 1990's Total Recall based on Dick's story "We Can Remember It
for You Wholesale," adapted "The Golden Man." Production will begin
next year with an eye toward a 2006 release.

Hmmmm.... sounds like it might have nothing in common then. Oh well.
