Hollywood mines source material that the general public either doesn't know about or has forgotten all the time. In fact, they prefer it that way, since the rights are usually available cheap. How many people outside the die-hard West Coast SF fan community knew who Philip Dick was before Blade Runner was released, for example? Most of his novels and stories were long out of print and remained so through the '80s, until he finally became entrenched in pop culture with the box-office success of Total Recall. | |
