Admittedly, it’s just one website and an anonymous source, but a Neuromancer movie? Hasn’t that boat sort of sailed? Gibson’s novel is still important for the quality of its writing and the depth of its characters — neither of which, I imagine, is exactly what would draw big-budget Hollywood to the project — but its vision of “cyberspace” is a little out-dated. It’s difficult to see how they would get around that — and thus provide the special effects I’m sure Hollywood is interested in — without seriously messing with the story.
Not that that’s ever stopped anyone before. I’m just saying, how do you film Neuromancer without its cyberspace looking like something out of the ’80s?
