I just found out that the maker of Waking Life, Richard Linklater, is directing the rotoscoped screen adaptation of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly. Of course, as an amateur rotoscope artist myself, this is really exciting for me. Bob Sabiston is going to be the art director again, which is great. I've heard that this film is going to be a little tighter and more traditional than Waking Life, which was very obviously done by many different artists with very different styles. A Scanner Darkly will be more cohesive.
