'Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams' trailer: Bryan Cranston, Anna Paquin and many more star in trippy sci-fi anthology
We’re not sure exactly what’s going on in the strange and beautiful first trailer for Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, but the sheer amount of star wattage in Amazon’s upcoming sci-fi anthology really makes us want to try and figure it out.
The video, released Friday during the streaming site’s New York Comic Con panel, offers many evocative glimpses of the 10-episode series. Each episode will be set in a different world — “some of which lay in the far reaches of the universe and time, and others which are much, much closer to home,” the official release states — and all of the stories are inspired by Dick’s short stories.
