One of the greatest sci-fi writers has also been responsible for the some of the greatest sci-fi movies, including Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall. For a while there it seemed like every year brought forth a new Philip K. Dick adaptation, but the cycle slowed down eventually, the release of a one like Radio Free Albemuth now brings with it a fresh new air of interest for sci-fi lovers. Adapted from the novel of the same name by writer/director John Simon, the film stars Jonathan Scarfe as a record store clerk drawn into a sci-fi conspiracy with a little help from Philip K. Dick himself, played by “Boardwalk Empire” co-star Shea Whigham. The film comes out later this month, and we’ve got a CraveOnline Exclusive premiere of the classy new poster.

From the Press Release:
From sci-fi author Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly) comes his most prophetic thriller to date. It’s 1985 in an alternate reality and Berkeley record store clerk Nick Brady (Jonathan Scarfe, Perception) begins to experience strange visions transmitted from an extra-terrestrial source he calls VALIS. He uproots his family and moves to Los Angeles where he becomes a successful music executive with a secret mission to overthrow the oppressive government led by US President Fremont (Scott Wilson – The Walking Dead). With the help of his best friend, sci-fi writer, Philip K. Dick himself (Shea Whigham – Boardwalk Empire, American Hustle) and a beautiful, mysterious woman named Silvia (Alanis Morissette – Weeds), Nick finds himself drawn into a conspiracy of cosmic, mind-shattering proportions. Although it might cost them their freedom or even their lives, they join forces to expose the dangerous truth about the corrupt regime.
