I think there are many people who feel that you can never have too much Dick in your life. The folks at the Halcyon Company agree and have purchased the rights to all of writer Philip K. Dick’s novels and short stories. Halcyon is already planning feature films for 2009 based on Dick’s science fiction work.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the agreement between Halcyon and Electric Shepherd Productions, Dick’s estate run company, will allow for television, movie, and web-based projects. Some titles mentioned as possible fodder for adaptation are “Ubik,” “The Man in the High Castle,” “The Transmigration of Timothy Archer,” and “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.”

Halcyon is the company that earlier purchased the rights to the Terminator franchise and is behind the TV project The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Dick has previously been adapted for Blade Runner, Minority Report, and Total Recall, which were big hits, and A Scanner Darkly, which was not. No telling how the world will respond to other Dick stories, but we will soon find out.
