Isa Dick Hackett, daughter of Philip K. Dick and chief executive of Electric Shepherd Productions, is currently overseeing a number of her late father’s works to the big screen. One of them is Ubik , Dick’s 1969 science fiction novel about a group of people experiencing strange shifts in reality in a future where psionic powers are widespread and the lines between life and death are blurred — and Hackett’s confident that Michel Gondry is the filmmaker for the job.

Steven Soderbergh’s retirement from filmmaking really won’t sink in for a few years. After all, between Contagion (out this fall), Haywire , and the still-to-shoot Magic Mike , The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Liberace , the Oscar-winning director could have movies in theaters through 2014. Still, Soderbergh is going out — Oprah-style , if he had his way: “A year-long daily celebration of my fabulousness would be nice. Or maybe just a smallish parade” — and he’s got some ideas about what’s next.

Would you essentially stop yourself from trying to write a movie that’s structured like The Sixth Sense ?” [ Grantland ]
