<<Johnny Mnemonic
wish someone would do the Neuromancer trilogy, Pattern Recognition & Virtual 
Light, would have loved to see young Keanu as Bobby Newmark...
"I'm not using, I just have this massive drug deficiency"
dunno if Gibson was happy with JM but I would have been were I he...I have 
watched that movie a lot
Just starting to get hooked on Metropolis and Alphaville too, 
lately...didn't know somebody made a movie of 1984...
(tangentially, does anybody else like "Ready to Wear"?)>>
As far as I recall Gibson was rather unhappy with JM. Somehow the film he 
and Longo wanted to make got lost on the way to the screen.
Is Chris Cunningham still trying to make Neuromancer? I seem to recal that 
he stopped work on it.
Peter Weir has the rights to Pattern Recognition but I don't know how far 
along it is.  And there's going to be an anime version of idoru as well.

So there you go
