This should be interesting. Who'll play Molly?

 

[Harvey]

Hopefully it's better than his script to Johnny Mnemomic, a film I've started twice but never been able to finish, assuming he is scripting it.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this one. I loved the novel, but I have trouble seeing it adapted to the big screen. And it's also pretty dated, at this point.

 

[Peter the Younger]

Wow, a first time director and young producer tackling that? Let's hope the creativity and management fairies sprinkled an extra dose on them in the cradle.

First-time director? I'm afraid not...

If you want an example of his past work, look no further than here!

Yup.

I'm biased as I'm a fan of Natali's work but I think he'll do a good job at directing Neuromancer. Cypher had cyber punk vibe to it and that was excellent.

The question is who is David Hewlett going to be.

 

[Pilot Ace]

Hmmmmmm. I love Cube. I'm intrigued, in a good way.

 

[Harvey]

If Natali is behind this, I'm there. I'm a big fan of his work.

The director of "Cypher"? Not a bad choice. And a far better one than this bozo who's responsible for that "Torque" atrocity.

As the saying goes: I'm not going to hold my hand over my ass waiting for this.

I have an admission...I like certain parts of Mnemonic, which i admit is a bad movie...but Neuromancer is following in its pattern in basically using amateurs in production...not a good sign.
