It's directed by the same person, using the same technique. I didn't much care for Waking Life myself, but I've got very high hopes indeed for A Scanner Darkly. The original novel by Philip K. Dick is absolutely brilliant, and I can't wait to see what they've done with it.

i want to see the story but dont understand the thinking behind this 'animation' technique.

it's real film thats been turned into a cartoon...

why ?

.. cant see the function behind the animation in this one...looks like they decided that it should be this way without any particular reason...I mean in Sin City the animation had a function...

I think it's because people like to try new things. It might be great, or it might give you a raging headache. Who knows?

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I really like Rory Cochrane and Robert Downey Jr. is just amazing.

If you take the live action and make it animated, you still, in theory, retain the depth of the performances, but there's more you can do with it (effects-wise) since it's animated

...its also less "real"... more like an cartoon..which can make it harder for an audience to feel with the actors...

A Waking Life had really interesting ideas about the difference between being awake and asleep,but it was kind of a slow movie, way more intellectual, kind of like a documentary. If this new movie is based on a Philip K. Dick story, I'm more excited about it, because of course he wrote the story that Blade Runner was based on. I'm gonna have to check out this book:)

However, MINORITY REPORT, TOTAL RECALL, and PAYCHECK where also based on his writing, and as a fan they where terrible adaptations. BLADE RUNNER is an exception.
