Who Should Direct Neuromancer Movie?
 

If Neuromancer is ever turned into a movie, who do you think would do the best job of directing it?

cronenberg

QFT

Ridley Scott

Linkletter did surprisingly well with A Scanner Darkly, so I'd let him do it. Funny that when it finally comes out, whoever does it, people will say it's a Matrix rip off!

cronenberg and linkletter are good picks...

john hillcoat is the only other name i think would fit

I have yet read this. Imma start on it soon.

Andrzej Zulawski

Well, the Wachowskis basically already made it once, so why not let them do it again?

Chris Cunningham should pull his finger out of his arse and finish what he started with Gibson.

Hanneke.

Michael Bay, the most american director of all time

I second that!

it would be stupid to film this movie now, its dated and probably been done better already - the Matrix obviously, or Lawnmower man.

Film Rucker's Software or Wetware - they have some imagination in them that hasn't been exploited by the Spectacle.

I came in here to say Cronenberg.

Admittedly I have not read Neuromancer, furthermore I haven't read any William Gibson, though my library has Pattern Recognition. So perhaps I'll check that one out sometime.

But I sure love that episode he wrote for the X-Files: Killswitch. That was a great one.

and Guy Ritchie is the most british director of all time

qft?

haa haa haa ha

but cronenberg, of course!

riddley scott: fuck him
linklater: meh!
the other one: pfftt!

Either Russ Meyer or Roger Corman.

he's dead, you stupid

but yea, it would have been great-- molly would have humongous tits

Looks like it's Roger Corman then.

most likely to happen.

Cronenberg in collaboration with James Cameron.

actually, strange days wasn't so horrid-- maybe cuz of juliette lewis-- but cameron wrote that-- go figure!

fuck cameron, hire his special effects people, and it's done.

cronenberg would really give us interesting characters-- as usual.

I can't imagine any director pulling this film off. Cyberspace is too 80's arcade, more like Tron than the Matrix.

I'd rather someone produce a decent Neuromancer video game, I'm thinking Heavy Rain meets Rez, than a movie.

he's more like the english version of hollywood

camerons sfx people are peter jacksons company weta

Hell yes, and make it for the Wii and PS3 only...cyberspace needs motion control...

i hope not

i don't even want to live in a world where bay is allowed to make a neuromancer film. i mean i'm already having a hard enough time co-existing in a society that lets that fucker make movies in the first place, but... fuck fuck fuck

^^^ I just read that as "low budget flop".

you go it right there man, Ribofunk would be much more relevent for our times.

ok I'll admit it. I accidentally ginger snaps. :(

I take this back 1000+ times

Motion control was never a good idea

In answer to the original question, did anyone say me? I'm nipping out in 5 minutes, but if the financiers do want to give me a call, I'll be available in a bit. I don't know what a Neuromancer is but I'll give it a fair crack.

it's exactly like a Wintermute, but less of an Anti-Turingist.

Those aren't real words, goth.

tell me what you know about Kuang Grade / Mark XI counter-ICE.

I heard:

thankfully, I roll 20's and barring any critical hits by your vorpal sword, I'll make my armor save quite easily (elven enchanted mithril chain ftw).

you know what I'd like to see? a Battletech movie. circa 3030, post fourth succession war featuring House Kurita's ComStar-Star League BattleMechs versus a disenfranchised Wolf's Dragoons or maybe, Clan Ghost Bear!!!
