When Ridley Scott made the film Blade Runner in 1982, he used a screenplay that was very loosely based on Phil’s novel Do Androids Dreams of Electric Sheep? While that film was a box office flop, failing to make back the cost of production, it did bring the name of Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and the general public. Sadly, Phil did not live long enough to see the finished film or to enjoy his newfound fame and fortune.
