Vincenzo Natali is now set to direct Neuromancer. Is this win or fail?
I think it could turn out well. I mean, he friggin directed Cube. But I have to see Splice b4 I can make any certain judgement about it.
How 'bout you guise?

What the fuck, it will be impossible to make Neuromancer into a movie, the plot doesn't run like a hollywood movie: it's way too fucking episodic.

First they get assigned on a mission to kill Tyrell -- err, I mean Ashpool. But he dies in the same setting as Tyrell in Blade Runner in the exact same fucking way, except it's totally not a ripoff, right? Even with the origami crane, right? It's just a Blade Runner homage, not a ripoff, amirite guiz?

Anyway, then they meet some guy who does snuff shit, then they find out their boss is an evil computer guy suffering from PTSD and kill him, then they team up with some Reggae guys to kill the snuff film dude... but first they have to face off against.... A NINJA!!!

Come to think of it, it is kind of dumb enough for hollywood to eat it up. If they can somehow write a real plot into that fucking mess of retardation and pulp.

Good book, don't know if it will manage the transfer of medium that well though.

You know what I want? For the old Neuromancer computer game to be redesigned/re-adapted to play on Mac OS X
