Neuromancer & the Void trilogy
Jut read that Neuromancer goes into pre-production and filming will start in 2012. Since I have not yet read William Gibson’s classic I just ordered it together with Peter F. Hamilton’s Void trilogy. They will make a nice addition to the books that I will be reading first: Anathem, The Confusion and The System of the World, all by Neil Stephenson.
Don’t get too excited…The Neuromancer we all want to see will never happen! Have a look at the abysmal track records of the main producers behind the production: Peter Hoffman and Jay Firestone. They will nickle and dime the production either to death (which I predict) or the film will be as embarrassingly lo-bud as Johnny Mnemonic! Vincenzo is a terrific writter and admirable director, but the producer team is NOT up to the task. Trust me.
