Neuromancer The Film

This poster was snapped at the AFM by Coming Soon , as you can tell from the huge watermark in the corner. What it shows, with curious and confusing perspective, is one of the computer ports that the Neuromancer ‘s ‘cyber jockey’ characters have embedded in their flesh. It’s by plugging a connector into a port like this that Case, the protagonist, connects himself to ‘the matrix’ and accesses ’cyberspace.’ We can presumably take this image as representative of the direction director Vincenzo Natali is taking the aesthetic in-narrative technological logistics of his film. I spoke to Natali about the film many moons ago now, and at that time, he had these plans for how cyberspace will look: [Case] enters what was coined the ‘Matrix’ but what was actually blatantly lifted by the Wachowski Brothers, so I’m calling it something else, but essentially he goes into this other alternative universe which a kind of platonic universe, where everything is pure and clean and beautiful.

Director Vincenzo Natali has been hard at work trying to get an adaptation of William Gibson’s cyberpunk novel ‘ Neuromancer ’ into production and it looks like his hard work is beginning to pay off. Not only has the production company GFM Films put up a webpage dedicated to the film and showing off a piece of concept art, it seems that they have also confirmed that offers have gone out to Mark Wahlberg and Liam Neeson . Although not as extensive as a press release, under the News heading on the ‘Neuromancer’ page is a blurb simply stating “Pay or Play offers have been made to Liam Neeson for Armitage and Mark Wahlberg for Case.” ‘Neuromancer’ Concept Art Surfaces; Offers To Wahlberg And Neeson Confirmed

Will Liam Neeson and Mark Wahlberg be plugging into Vincenzo Natali's Neuromancer? | Film In talks … Liam Neeson, seen here in The Grey, is an excellent choice to play the character of Armitage. Photograph: Open Road Films/Sportsphoto/Allstar Vincenzo Natali's attempt to bring Neuromancer to the big screen has been a long-gestating process, as one might expect from a director who specialises in intelligent genre fare that has not always performed spectacularly at the box office.

Based on the seminal 1984 book by William Gibson which can be said to have legitimised cyberpunk as a mainstream branch of science fiction literature. Case is a low level hustler living out his last days on the streets of the future Tokyo underground. A talented thief who would break into high security computer systems by directly linking his brain into them, he is discovered and injected with a poison which renders him unable to interface into cyberspace. Unable to work, Case embarks on a self-destructive path of drug addiction and double dealings, waiting for a local crime lord to collect on money and time that doesn`t exist. Enter a shady businessman named Armitage who offers him the impossible: the chance to repair his neural damage and regain the life he once had. Neuromancer « GFM Films

Mark Wahlberg and Liam Neeson are mulling over offers to headline director Vicenzo Natali’s long-gestating adaptation of “Neuromancer”, based on the classic literary offering by William Gibson. Wahlberg, who has a solid working relationship with the film’s producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (he cast the former in “Four Brothers” and “Shooter), would play the anti-hero Case. Neeson, who like Wahlberg will receive a pay-or-play deal, would be the twisted tool Armitage. “Nobody has officially signed for the project, but the offers are on the table”, we were informed overnight. The book that launched the cyberpunk generation tells of Case, “the hottest computer cowboy cruising the information superhighway–jacking his consciousness into cyberspace, soaring through tactile lattices of data and logic, rustling encoded secrets for anyone with the money to buy his skills” and how he ends up double-crossing the wrong people, and has his talent burnt out of his brain, “micron by micron”.
