Tue, December 30, 2003 - 5:13 PMi have been hearing from some of my film friends for a while now that neuromancer was in development -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Wed, December 31, 2003 - 3:06 PMI've got one of the first versions of the Neuromancer script...not sure if it is official or not. I don't even remember where I picked it up. But it was many years ago now. -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Thu, January 1, 2004 - 3:24 AMJust hope that it won't turn up like that Johnny Mnemonic travesty starring a pre-Matrix Keanu Reeves.
Gibson's works are pretty tricky to transfer onscreen...whatever happened to the New Rose Hotel film with Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Asia Argento? -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Mon, January 5, 2004 - 5:07 AMWhich - New Rose Hotel or Johnny Mnemonic? I'd agree wholeheartedly that Johnny Mnemonic stinks badly -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Mon, January 5, 2004 - 3:54 PMthe new rose hotel, had no budget, it was not very well done ..
mnemonic was a victim of the time period .. if it was done now it would havew been done right .. i hope ..
neuromancer would definitely transfer to the screen .. i have a pretty clear view in my mind how it looked when i was reading it ..
didn't gibson have a hand in that wild palms series , thats was pretty good with little in the way of effects .. -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Tue, January 6, 2004 - 8:22 AMIIRC, Gibson had a cameo on Wild Palms, but was not involved in creating it. He did do some writing for the Wild Palms Reader however.

In defense of Johnny Mnemonic
Tue, January 20, 2004 - 1:09 PMI think I would like this movie even if I didn't have a Keanu addiction.
There are a lot of good things about it, in spite of all the goofy things...my biggest problem was the casting of Molly, I like the actress, but not in that part...picture her trying to play Molly in the other stories. Also Dolph Lundgren was pretty lame. Jones was not realistic enough, but they sure tried. But Henry Rollins was super, Udo Keir was Udo Keir, and I thought Keanu actually did a good job. His monologue beneath the bridge is classic.

Did you know the director was from Buffalo NY? - Chris Bradley - Niagara Falls NY

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Thu, January 1, 2004 - 10:54 PMI think Neuromancer would transfer to the screen very well. It's all a matter about finding a director that can pull it off...now that's the hard part.

dreamy surreal environments .. -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Sun, January 18, 2004 - 10:54 PMI just loved that surreal parts !!
Indeed I'm thinking of doing something like that for a screenplay I'm writing, out of his influence. -

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Tue, January 20, 2004 - 12:00 PMI'd like to see Ridley Scott direct Neuromancer. -
-
Re: Murmurs about movies?
Sat, January 24, 2004 - 12:59 AMNo...not the same Ridley Scott who bastardized Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"!!!
Tarsem gets my vote too... -

Re: Murmurs about movies?

The interesting thing is that Blade Runner is not DADOES - they're really two separate works inspired by some of the same ideas. I'm sort of thinking that either you get Peter Jackson to do a close quasi faithful reproduction of the Sprawl trilogy, or you get a director who will make it his own. Whenever I think of Nighttown, I'm thinking of images from Blade Runner, so I wouldn't mind seeing what Ridley Scott would do with it.

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Fri, April 23, 2004 - 8:18 PMNot necessarily, but Pattern Recongition (set in the same world)has been optioned for the big screen.
Must be the whole "Ringu" like sceanrio worth exploiting...

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Mon, April 26, 2004 - 2:15 AMI have to ask myself to update this. Anyone hear if the movie was being done. I have heard this as well and was talking about it today with a friend. Made me want to read Gibsons books again.

Re: Murmurs about movies?
Sat, June 26, 2004 - 3:26 AMI think Count Zero'd lend itself better to the big screen. -

Yeah, the problem I've always heard about the Sprawl series was that he didn't own the character rights, which is why movies get made out of Burning Chrome. Note no "Sally", etc. Gibson worked directly with Longo on Johnny Mnemonic - very close to the production, and it blew chunks. NRH also blew chunks, unless you don't care about the story and want to watch Asia Argento's ass. Which is worth watching and all, but...
I don't think there was enough story for the VL series, but PR might translate very well.
