Therefore, here is the latest batch of movie stills from the film.
Scanner Darkly Movie Stills
A Scanner Darkly is set in suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own experiences.

Like a graphic novel come to life, A Scanner Darkly will use live action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process (interpolated rotoscoping) to create a haunting, highly stylized vision of the future. The technology, first employed in Richard Linklater’s 2001 film "Waking Life," has evolved to produce even more emotional impact and detail.
Having read A Scanner Darkly I love the fact that the story takes place in Orange County and uses real cities, streets and other locations for reference. In the novel, author Philip K. Dick predicts that the city of Brea will be a crap town and a place filled with drug addicts. Little did he know that the same city would be named 'Top 5 Suburbs' to live in for 2006.
Since my hometown is Brea, got to represent. (I am now rocking in Newport Beach)
The Scanner Darkly will come to theatres on July 7th.
