Neuromancer the movie.  What could possibly go wrong?  Three words:  Hayden Fucking Christiansen.

I may have to pre-emptively poke my eyes out with a purple crayon.

You'd blunt the crayon, silly.

It makes me wonder who the hell they're thinking of to play Molly and Armitage. If they've picked vapid, plastic boy-Barbie Christiansen as burned-out drain-circling middleman Case, what next? Why not just get Reese Witherspoon in for Molly? Maybe Noel Edmonds for Armitage? Reprise Patrick Moore's Gamesmaster Giant Head as Wintermute, because really you're already pissing in my eyes, you may as well give me a decent drink. C'mon, Director-of-Torque-the-piss-weak-Fast-and-Furious-rip-off-and-some-Britney-documentaries, I dare you!

So, who would you cast?

[andygates.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen enough recent movies to be able to play the casting game, but Case always came across as drawn and worn-bare. At the same time, he's an asshole, so Christiansen might be able to pull it off. :)

No, they can't mean Gibson's Neuromancer. You can't make a film of that with HC in. It would be like trying to do Gibson with someone like, say, Keanu Reeves...oh, wait.

Heh - I was just thinking Come back Keanu, all is forgiven :)

Though his draft script for Alien 3 sucked ass. I have a copy somewhere.
