I heard a rumour that Chris Cunningham is directing the film version of William Gibson's book Neuromancer, with RDJ doing the soundtrack. Has anyone else heard anything to this effect..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but i'll be pissed because i heard that dan myer (who released a cd with this same tittle under his (?cleaner?) project is supposed to do any soundtrack to it because he's personally firends /w ppl close to the author. (i'm shady here on the conections Dan has) |

|
i heard it like 2 years ago. that project is probably on ice.... |
||||||||
|

||||||||

As of a week ago movie is still on, although it's in pre-production hell right now. Cunningham is still slated to direct, although they've had to rethink the way they want to present it in light of every idea of Gibson's being stolen and mass produced in films such as the Matrix. RDJ had said originally that he would do the soundtrack but then later reneged and said he "couldn't be bothered |

"gobsons being stolen and mass produced in films such as the matrix" could you exapnd on this? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What kind of exapndion do you need? Didn't you notice all those cyberpunk/dark future style movies that were really popular during the mid-late nineties? |
||||||||

William Gibson lives in Vancouver too. |
||||||||

|

yes i did, and i did know that they were practially nuromancer ripps. but that's not the point that i wanted expanded. i was wondering if it could be explained more in the idea that this theft is suposedly to be prtrayed in the move. |

"Didn't you notice all those cyberpunk/dark future style movies that were really popular during the mid-late nineties?" didn't you notice that there's only one of these... "all those?" were there more? and i do believe that neromancer came from an old ass comic based on the same principals. |

Yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have said stolen, more influenced. "The Matrix" is the name that William Gibson gave to the net in Neuromancer, and a lot of his ideas of the future have had a major influence on motion pictures and their presentation, specifically one's dealing with the future of virtual reality and the internet. As such, Cunningham and Gibson both said that it would be difficult to present Neuromancer now in the way they originally envisioned, as it would not seem as new as it would, say, even four years ago. |

thanks for enlighting us... as for that comic refrence i made earlyer, here's a link to the guy who made them, he's pretty much a comic demi-god. |

I heard that "Johny Mnemonic" is basicly 90% the story of "Neuromancer". Is this true? I haven't read Neuromancer. |
||||||||
|

Johnny Mnemonic was originally a short story written by Gibson for the short story collection Burning Chrone. The movie script was written by Gibson, although he was not particularly happy with the end product of the movie. Apparently there's a Japanese edit which is closer to his original vision |

thanx for the info : ) It was a crappy movie imo. Why is Keanu Reves still breathing? He should have been shoot years ago!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. I can't understand why he gets chosen for big roles in really good movies like the matrix, Devil's Advocate, uh, bill and ted's excellent adventure (ok, maybe he was right for that role). Anyway, if you haven't read any Gibson, Nueromancer's great, but kind of difficult to read. I think Idoru is a great introduction to his work, if you want to check it out. Gibson's kind of the reason that you have a picture under your name on this messageboard, as the book will show. |

I don't care how long it takes them to make the Neuromancer move, I'd just like them to do it right ... I always pictured Sting as Case, but maybe that's stupid. Is William Gibson still using a typewriter? If I recall, Neuromancer was written on a typewriter, that's kinda funny. |
