Hayden a Neuromancer | Movie News
You may have already heard the news about the NEUROMANCER movie. What you didn't hear was who would be starring in this ambitious adaptation of the cyberpunk classic. JoBlo.com sources have told us that Hayden Christensen will star in NEUROMANCER as Case, the former hacker at the center of the story. I'll be honest and admit I've never read NEUROMANCER and my rudimentary attempts to try and understand the plot have only confused me. But it seems very much a precursor to the Matrix with the book even referring to "the matrix." Joseph Kahn (TORQUE) is directing the film, which is essentially set up as an indie film with a big budget. It is not set up at a studio but still carries an impressive $70 million budget. It's unclear when filming would begin but it could be later this year. Christensen can be seen next in the Fox action flick JUMPER, which hits theaters in February.

As for Christiansen, he wouldn't be my first pick for Case, but I suppose you could do worse (it's hard to shake that Episode 2 and 3 stigma sometimes). The real question though is... who's going to play Molly? Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if the movie producers cast some talentless airhead like Alba, Lohan, or Simpson in that role. If that happens, please just shoot me.
