Does anyone know when his Drukqs video is coming out? What tune is it? Also, is Neuromancer ever going to get made? The book was so good it made me realise how pants most sci-fi is. The Matrix proved you can have difficult concepts in an action movie. Neuromancer: Hangover from world conflict, corporations controlling governments, biotechnology gone mad, the War On Drugs failing, the Internet replacing reality... if anything, more relevant now than ever. And now a fucked up geek can be an action hero (Spiderman, anyone?) Cunningham directing and RDJ providing the music!? How awesome would that be? I don't suppose anyone is up for petitioning the studio to make the damn film? |

"Does anyone know when his Drukqs video is coming out? What tune is it? " Hmm, do you mean Monkey Drummer? It's Mt Saint Michael's and blah blah Mont... I like it, it's really cool... |

the only movie to come close to tackling issues raised by Neuromancer is Ghost in the Shell... but I find it hilareous that all the Industrial fans want FLA to Soundtrack Neuromancer and the IDM fans want it to be Aphex but in realiy when Gibsom wrote that and the short stuff on Burning Chrome he was listening to Bruce Springsteen and if he had it his way he would probably want U2 as a major contributer to soundtrack..as evident on Johnny Mnemonic...heh..he might have popularized the architecture for Cyberspace(it actually existed prior to Gibson)..but he has crap taste when it comes to music |

William Gibson doesnt seem to have a post punk, (or even really punk) understanding of, or interest in music... i think i read that he liked Stevie Nicks... he maybe just wanted to do her Front line Assembly... that sounds like a joke, even a burned out acid/junkie like Alain J (Ministry) could still do better... |

it would be cool to make a movie. i sorta have an idea for a story as a book, but it's still only in embryo at the moment. i do have a title for it tho. |

i like FLA... some of their songs are awsome... dont forget they are not IDM so you caun't say they suck compared to aphex |

What's FLA? I started this thread after reading the Corbijn (CC Rider) interview with Cunningham, which for some reason I thought was only a few months old - i.e. newer than Monkey Drummer. I just reread the article (in the Learn section of this site) and it's undated. But they don't mention any monkeys, just Chris with weird prosthetics. I always thought Gibson was a VU fan: one of the spaceships is called Sweet Jane and I think Case gets "Waiting For The Man" stuck in his head at one point... I should reread the book but I lost it :) |

The only DrukQs related video that Cunningham did (besides Monkey Drummer) was the short clip featured at drukqs.net set to AFXV237, of which there is a longer sequence but will probably never get released. |

you can buy "monkey drummer" on dvd, now. |

WeaklingChild: Really? Where? To my knowledge, Monkey Drummer is NOT available for sale on DVD...at least not cheaply, unless you're referring to the version that is on the Creative Review DVD that only subscribers get. Even then it's not really commercially available in the sense you can go buy a DVD with it on it at the shop, unless you know otherwise :) Chris Cunningham told a friend of mine that the full version of the AFXv237 video probably would never be seen in it's full form. He didn't give a reason why, perhaps it's too disturbing. |
