Finally, a horrible cinematic mutilation of Neuromancer on the way!
Soon, Neuromancer will get the same big-screen desecration as Johnny Mnemonic!

Vincenzo Natali’s Neuromancer ???
I thought it was William Gibson's ...
or we are not talking about the same thing perhaps.

I don't know; I'm quite fond of Natali's work (I'm and oldschool Cube fan!)... he seems as capable as any of making a good Neuromancer movie.

I am crossing my fingers they do a great job. It's one of my favourite sci-fi novels.

In my general experience, how much you like a movie is inversely proportional to how much you liked the novel it was based on.

Technology's advanced so far from the time that Neuromancer was written. I hope they can make it relevant on screen.

You are right to be worried...

Then again, if they paid me 100k to do an adaptation, I'd be game!!!

I hope it succeeds so maybe we'll next see an adaptation of Snow Crash, which seems far more cinematically written to me.

Given how almost every movie now is a remake or based on existing property, it isn't *that* surprising. I can't get excited until there are more details, though.

By doing that they'd have to change things and then it wouldn't be exactly like the book. Heh. Seriously though, I'm pretty excited for this too.

Can't agree with that. One of my favourite books is LOTR, and I really can't imagine it being filmed any better than it was.

In that case I will probably love the movie.

*Shudders*

I can only hope they don't mangle it beyond all recognition (some degree of mangling is inevitable, however - its Hollywood). Can't say that I'm expecting a good movie, though...

As much as I like both the movies and the books, I can imagine the movies being filmed better. Namely: following the source material more closely (plenty of material was left out, and several useless scenes were added).

Nonetheless, your point still stands.

Hopefully between this and the supposed Caves of Steel movie, we'll see Hollywood start to film more classics of SF, as opposed to constantly remaking older movies or worse, TV shows.
