Neuromancer comes May. 19, 2007
Source: Variety   by: Dave Davis

After more than two decades of influencing countless modern sci-fi stories and concepts in film, TV, videogames, books and comics, an adaptation of William Gibson's seminal 1984 novel NEUROMANCER is finally heading to theaters.

Producer Peter Hoffman will essentially make the movie as a $70 million indie. Director Joseph Kahn, whose only feature to date is the ingenious postmodern Western TORQUE (yes, I actually do love TORQUE), will bring Gibson's prophetic vision of cyberspace to screens. Chuck Russell (THE MASK) and music vid director Chris Cunningham made previous attempts to adapt NEUROMANCER during its lengthy stay in development hell.

Gibson's brilliant award-winning cyberpunk tale (which also coined the term The Matrix some 15 years before Neo jacked in) follows unemployed "console cowboy" Case who gets recruited (Plissken-style) by a razorgirl named Molly and a shadowy ex-military officer for a top secret job, only to find himself entangled in a Byzantine plot involving insanely powerful artificial intelligence.

Extra Tidbit: NEUROMANCER shares characters and setting of other Gibson stories including JOHNNY MNEMONIC, which was ultimately subjugated by "Hollywood forces".

FINALLY...
Huge fan of this novel, which introduced the term "cyberspace" to the modern vernacular, Gibson highly affected by Bladerunner, the birth of all things "cyberpunk"...i pray it turns out well, cunningham would have been awesome for the project as would proyas, just make it right whoever gets to helm this awesome book. "the sky was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel..."

DUMB!!!
I am really not that familiar with the source material, but if that retard J-Kahn is helming, then this is doomed!!!!!
Why not get that other "master", Paul "Wet Shite" Anderson to direct.

HEY...
I liked JOHNNY MNEMONIC. Just don't ask me why because I don't have a really good reason. Except for Dolph Lundgren. He makes me giggle.

COULD MAKE MANY MAD
There is obviously huge fan love for this highly influential story and living up to it's nearly fanatical following seems mighty daunting. Being essentially produced independently might free it from idiot excutive interference, however total independence sometimes breeds a lack of understanding of non-fans (which will make or break this thing financially). Being too close to a subject often results in an assumption of an audience's knowledge of material and shorthand is ocasionally used, alienating those unfamiliar to the plot. I hope a real balance is struck because like many, I'd love to see this do well after being referenced for years. I agree multiple films would do it justice.

NO CUNNINGHAM?
70 million dollars and they couldn't tap Cunningham on the shoulders?

I'm not sure if I've seen anything in Kahn's feature/music vid work that shows that he has the vision to make something like this look good.

This is soooo great news - but the movie will NEVER top the book. And why the hell is it Joseph Kahn who's doing this???
Where the fuck is Alex Proya.
I remember when I saw the first poster of the Matrix, the one with neo, trinity, cypher and morpheous with a grey background, I thought that it was Neomancer...
But hey - It's William fucking Gibson, babay

This is good news. I love Gibsons's novel but I dont think they picked the right director, it will end up being like any other Philip K. Dick adaptation by talentless directors like NEXT. Sad.
