People have been trying to make a movie of William Gibson's Neuromancer since the mid-1980s, and now Splice/Cube director Vincenzo Natali is trying to make it happen. But for a few years, Joseph Kahn, the director of tons of music videos plus Torque and Detention, was hard at work on a Neuromancer film. More »

Detention: The crazy indie movie that should have been a web series

We had high hopes for Joseph Kahn's high school horror movie Detention. And while we really loved each individual scene on its own, the plot as a whole was lost amongst the din of caterwauling teens shrieking about the 90s. More »

First Look at the Poster for the Movie Version of Neuromancer
