First Look at the Poster for the Movie Version of Neuromancer

We've all been dubious about the idea that anybody could make William Gibson's classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer into a movie, but this poster gives me hope. I love the abstract, steampunk-meets-dada look of it. Maybe director Joseph Kahn will give us an extraordinary new vision of the book, which captures both its hard science edge and spiritual trippiness? One can only hope, though the fact that Hayden "Anaken" Christensen is playing the console jockey Case is not exactly a good sign. [ First Poster for Joseph Kahn's Neuromancer via Quiet Earth]

Two Gibson Adaptations, But Only One Peter Weir Movie

Hayden "Anakin" Christensen will star in a movie adaptation of William Gibson's classic novel Neuromancer, directed by Joseph Kahn. So far, Kahn's only credits are the low-budget biker movie Torque, and some Britney Spears music videos. (Torque does feature lots of spooky flickering neon lights, which is a start.) The slightly more experienced Peter Weir (The Truman Show) will be directing the movie of Gibson's Pattern Recognition.
