re: #179 Belafon

We’ve talked here about how hard it would be to make Neuromancer into a movie, but I wonder why Noone is trying some of Pat Cadigan’s books, such as Synners.

Personally, I’d rather see them adapt Snow Crash, though I suppose I could get much the same effect by just playing Cyberpunk 2077. And that’s sort of the problem of adapting Neuromancer or really any of the 80s cyberpunk genre: It’s been done. Not in the sense that they’ve already been put to film, but that other works came along and either did the same stories or so altered the genre from its roots that making movies/shows out of the early works would feel like those efforts in the 90s/00s to make movies out of TV shows from the 60s.
