Neuromancer finally greenlighted?
It is been on and off more times than I can remember, but FirstShowing.net is reporting that the Neuromancer movie has a budget and is being fast tracked. Of course it probably won't be the Neuromancer we all know and love:The novel examines the concepts of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, genetic engineering, multinational corporations overpowering the traditional nation-state, and cyberspace long before these ideas became fashionable in popular culture. In addition to tackling these hot topics in the film, producer Hoffman stated “there'll be a sort of love interest as well." Quite unnecessary, but that's Hollywood for you these days.
Actually, Gibson's Neuromancer did have a love story subplot. So they don't have to tack one on, just expand on what is there. Still, given the past history of Gibson's theatrical adaptions you have to be a bit leery of this news...
