Paul Giamatti Blurs Reality For Philip K. Dick Biopic 'Owl In Daylight'
While "Your Name Here," an unlicensed biography starring Bill Pullman and Taryn Manning, eyes a Sundance debut, Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti is setting his sights on a competing Dick project, titled "The Owl in Daylight."
"There's a guy writing a script right now," Giamatti told us.
The "The Owl in Daylight," which Dick was unable to finish before his death in 1982, is a complicated tale that involves Ed Firmley, a B-movie composer, a race of aliens that have evolved without the ability to hear sounds, and our deeply held believes about art, happiness, and, oh yeah, heaven. You know, light stuff.
But if reading the wiki synopsis makes the story sound complicated, that’s nothing compared to how Giamatti and Co. are handling Dick’s life -- as a sort of Charlie Kauffman-esque experiment in blurring fiction and reality.
