- I may well be the only one who thinks so, but the only thought of having
- a Neuromancer movie makes me puke! NOT that I am blaming the ones who
- would like a Neuromancer movie... it's just my bad experience with book
- to movie conversions: none of them (at least the conversions I've
- seen) had any comparision with the book. Take as an example The Never
- Ending Story, the film would have been great... if I only hadn't read the
- book before... it was sooo different to what I had imagined when reading
- the book. I wouldn't like that it happened the same with Neuromancer, and
- the better the book is (and Neuromancer is certainly one of my favourites)
- the greater the probability that I get disappointed with the movie...
- IF there had to be a movie of it, then I would recommend totaly unknown
- players for the casting, faces that we don't already know and that we can
- forget as fast as possible, so that we can retain our own imaginations.
- As for the music it should have great variety and once again (it's my
- opinion) of not too well known/commercial bands.
