As of when Scanner Darkly (an absolutely brilliant adaptation) came out last year PKD became the most filmed book author ever.

Er, no. Shakespeare has over 600. Stephen King has 107 writing credits in movies/TV. Twain over 100. Michael Critchon has around 25. Dick only has 14. (And Grisham's only 1 behind him.)

My fault, mis-remembered the quote. It’s most adapted SF author, which rules out everybody else in your list though Chritchon stradles genres pretty heavily.
