Dick was a good author, wrote a lot of trash, but as Sturgeon's Revelation states: "90% of Science Fiction is Crud. 90% of EVERYTHING is Crud!". And he wrote some utterly damnfine fiction as well. Not that Hollywood can tell what's good or bad. "The Man in the High Castle"... 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Nah..they'd never film that. Note comments in the reviews:
http://www.philipkdick.com/works_novels_mancastle.html Hollywood and the literary establishment has a very very limited stable of Science Fiction writers they are even aware of, excluding some of the most important names in the field. Most of their awareness falls on writers who match their social-political vision of reality, and relatively conservative writers like Anderson are utterly outside their view. |

QUOTE Hollywood and the literary establishment has a very very limited stable of Science Fiction writers they are even aware of Poul Anderson is a very well known and respected science fiction writer. I'm not sure what "literary establishment" you are thinking of, but I hardly think you can be unfairly ignored and award-winning at the same time. If you really want to see one of Anderson's works Hollywoodized (and this is not always, or even often, a good thing), then obtain permission from his estate, write a screenplay, and market it until you get a buyer. I don't believe there exists any conspiracy to defraud Anderson of a feature film based on his politics (which are completely unknown, and irrelevant, to me). |
