Neuromancer Coming to the Big Screen

William Gibson's prescient sci-fi bestseller from the '80s, Neuromancer, will get the big screen treatment from veteran producer-distributor Peter Hoffman, reports Variety.

 

The $70 million pic is essentially being fast-tracked to replace the Paul Verhoeven project The Winter Queen. The latter is being pushed back until at least next spring because leading lady Milla Jovovich is pregnant.

 

Joseph Kahn, a Korean-American commercials director who made Torque for Warner Bros., has signed to direct.

interesting The Matrix was loosely based on the book so wonder how it will pan out. Read the book and the matrix and it differ greatly in plot and story line however some characters are slightly similar and the technology too.

Sounds good
