Slight tangent: it was announced this week that Apple TV will produce a series based on Gibson’s novel Neuromancer. It’s set to begin production next summer. This has been promised multiple times over the last 30 years and has died every time. I’m sure The Peripheral getting made finally pushed this over the line.
I have long thought this could be an awesome movie. I’m a little unsure how they make it into a longer running series without changing the story significantly. Unlike with The Peripheral, I’d be a little disappointed with major changes. Neuromancer is great compact story.
If there’s interest in talking more about Neuromancer, let’s start a new thread so we don’t hijack this one.
