Default Philip K. Dick in the movies again

Has anyone seen this movie? German title is "Der Plan", with Matt Damon. I read this German essay about it:

http://www.heise.de/bin/tp/issue/r4/...355&mode=print

Sounds very interesting, and typical for Dick. The author gives it a thumbs-up.

Links to more, English reviews welcomed.

He's doing pretty good for a guy who spent most of his career in near-poverty.

It's my understanding that famed director Ridley Scott will be producing an adaptation of his 1962 alternate WW2 history novel, The Man in the High castle for BBC, in the form of a mini-series.

Ah!? One of my three or four favourite novels by Dick!

Should be interesting. Especially since Scott, given his work on Blade Runner, was probably the only director of the many who have adapted PKD's work to actually meet him in his lifetime.
