I liked Scarlett in Under the Skin, among others. Not sure I enjoyed the live action last time I tried, but I think I'll give it another go sometime. The soundtrack by Kenji Kawai makes the original. Mamoru Oshii also did some interesting live actions before GITS. The Red Spectacles, Stray Dog and The Wolf Brigade are all worth a watch, IMO.
I thought Bladerunner was a much better attempt to adapt Dick than Total Recall, but still, wasn't a bad film. Scanner Darkly.. Minority Report. I should give them another watch.
Yes, I have noticed that the number of Dick’s stories that get made into films or TV series is huge. Now, I have heard several mentions of “Under the Skin”, yet haven’t seen it. I wonder if it was made whilst I was traveling and thus missed it. She was also good in “Lucy”.
