Bryan Cranston to star in series based sci-fi author Philip K. Dick’s works

U.S. actor Bryan Cranston will return to television executive producing and starring in a series based on the short stories of science fiction author Philip K. Dick, Variety magazine reported Tuesday.

The project entitled “Electric Dreams: The World of Philip K. Dick” will be produced by Sony Pictures Television and Channel 4.

“This is an electric dream come true. We are so thrilled to be able to explore and expand upon the evergreen themes found in the incredible work of this literary master,” said Cranston on Tuesday in a statement.

Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Outlander”) and Michael Dinner (“Justified”) will be the screenwriters and also executive producers of the series.

The 10part series will portray the prophetic visions of Dick, who died in 1982, and will celebrate the work of the wellknown novelist, whose writings inspired films such as “Minority Report, “Blade Runner,” and “Total Recall.”

“I’m thrilled to be working with this exceptional team to bring my father’s short stories to life,” said Isa Dick Hackett, the late author’s daughter.
