The first one has Bill Pullman as "William J. Frick" along with Traci Lords, Charles Napier, and M. Emmet Walsh. They've already shot it. Apparently, there was an issue with rights from the PKD daughters, so they changed the name.

The 2nd one isn't much more than a press release, but Paul Giamatti is going to produce & star in it w/ full support of the family. Dude's apparently a big fan, and did a great job on last year's audiobook for "A Scanner Darkly".

Also, it seems the first one will be a "Fantasia" on his life, due to rights issues, instead of a straight bio-pic.

Which one should be double featured with Infamous and which with Capote?

The guy who wrote I Am Alive And You Are Dead should direct one or NO ONE SHOULD!

Emmanuel Carriere! I just finished reading that today. This kind of synchronicity could almost make you think he was right...

The cast list for the Pullman one has me scratching my head. But I'd be interested to see a PKD biopic, though maybe in a "please don't laugh too hard at my once-and-possibly-still-favourite author (even though I totally do too, but fondly)" sort of way.
