By the way, did you know they offered PKD the chance to rewrite Androids as Blade Runner -- not a script, an actual novel -- for re-release in conjunction-ish with the movie? They offered him a pile, too. He said no and of course he might've died without finishing it anyway.PKD died in the middle of production of Blade Runner but not before disavowing the production and leveling a gun at not just Paul Sammon, but David Peeples in the course of interviews.
He was pretty much insane at that point, and in failing health. I suspect they offered him a lot of money because they knew he'd never finish it and it would keep him out of their hair. There's a reason nobody successfully adapted any of his works until he was dead and buried.
