i havnt heard much about the film. all i know is that its about secret agents that systematically change the features on there face to slip past security and somehow they save the world. anyone else heard about this?
ok, now i guess its about Keanu Reeves having a split personallity becus the left cortex of his brain has suffered damage so the right one is making up for it. Saw a trailer for it and it looks, if anything, really interesting. Its half real life, half animation, so it looks awesome.
I read that it had something to do with mind altering drugs, causing a split personality? God, Charlie Kaufman's name was attatched to it, as the original screenwriter, only to lose it.
Despite my dislike of Keanu, this looks really interesting. I've never seen a movie done like this. The story sounds decent too. It is in the future with some drugs that have split personality as a side-effect. Keanu is a cop trying to catch a big time drug dealer who is apparently himself since he too has split personality. Movie also has Robert Downey Jr, Woody Harrelson, and Wynona Rider.

I'm bumping and moving this to Sci Fi, as the trailer has become more prominate. Having seen it on the big screen before "Be Cool", I've got to say, the future of Sci Fi lies in indies as well!
With this and "Sin City", I'm hoping these inventive new ways of cinema take off. I loved the gimmick of "Sky Captain", and "A Scanner Darkly" being presented as a movie with sort of a comic book/animated filter, it's going to be a trip to watch.
I don't see where you're drawing any comparisons. They are two totally different films, with two totally different approaches, and two totally different story lines. "A Scanner Darkly" having a much more original, and interesting premise.
Of course i havent seen it. The way it appears to be sold is relying soley on the style and cryptic story. I guess it more reminds me of movies like 2046, and sky captain. Seems like an enhanced anime.

The story is bizarre. An agent cracking down on his own alter-ego, which is a product of a hallucinogenic drug? I dunno how that'll play out, but it'll be interesting to watch if nothing else.
The concept catches my interest i love originality. I am going to have to wait to see if the style is just a gimmick or actually a technique to carry the story.
