      For being what I would consider one of the founding fathers of cyberpunk, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Neuromancer film yet. Especially when so many of the tropes we know from the cyberpunk genre originated from Neuromancer, to begin with.

        The question is do they stick with the existing Johnny Mnemonic movie as the prequel story, recap it in an intro scene, or ignore it completely?

        An anthology-like mini series where each episode deals with one pilgrim and is written and directed by different people. As many different styles as there are pilgrims, just like how the book is written. Would translate very well to screen IMO.

      Neuromancer has been optioned before but no one did anything with it. I think it was in play again but recently but haven’t heard much lately.

      Hyperion Cantos would be great.

      Gormanghast might also be cool.

      Watch Inception and think of Neuromancer and you will find that its probably the best closest match for the way the story is told. So many things made me realize there are so many little “I loved that story but I cant make that movie so I will just give you clues”. The throwing star is the top.
