Back in March, Universal Pictures released The Adjustment Bureau, written and directed by George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum), which is based on a short story (Adjustment Team), and next August, most of us will be heading to the theater to see director Len Wiseman‘s forthcoming remake of Total Recall, starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bill Nighy and John Cho, which is based on a novelette called, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale“.

What do these projects, along with Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly and a handful of others all have in common? Philip K. Dick.

In addition to the Michel Gondry (Green Hornet) directed big-screen adaptation of Philip K. Dick‘s 1969 book, Ubik that we told you was in the pipeline back in February, now Variety reports that Lila 9th and Electric Shepherd Productions are joining forces to bring Philip K. Dick‘s 1966 sci-fi novel Now Wait For Last Year to the big screen.

Barrie M. Osborne (The Lord of the Rings), Cameron Lamb, and Dick’s daughter Isa Dick Hackett will produce the movie, while Dan Keston, Laura Leslie, Christopher Tricarico and Kathy Morgan will executive produce.

Production is planned to begin in the fourth quarter of 2012. No release date has been announced for Now Wait for Last Year.
