Ghost in the Shell (lol)
Blade Runner 2049
Altered Carbon
Neuromancer
Cyberpunk 2077
Snow Crash

Things are certainly looking great for cyberpunk fans recently for sure!

Never knew Altered Carbon and Snow Crash were in production.
Looked it up and Altered Carbon is a TV series? Good. Could do with a nice cyberpunk TV series like that, was a good book. Fingers crossed the rest are good.

There's also Battle Angel Alita being directed by Robert Rodriguez; considering how damn good OG Sin City, here's hoping it's of that quality.

Then there's Duncan Jone's (Moon, Source Code) upcoming film - Mute, which looks like a mystery cyberpunk film.

On the subject of cyberpunk games there's also the System Shock revivals (remake of 1 and System Shock 3 both in development) and that cool looking indie cyberpunk game called Observer starring Rutger Hauer.

It is a bit weird how cyberpunk seems to be undergoing something of a revival. I'm actually not complaining about it since I love the genre, and it may, in part be because of this revival that my own cyberpunk novel got picked up a literary agent recently, so I say bring it on.

Hopefully they don't lose the chance to use Ice Ice Baby.

Mobile phones for a start

Outlook not so good.

This thing never gets more than a few feet off the ground (I hope I'm not bumping an old thread and there are production stills at the end of the page).

That plot change in the matrix is a nitpick at best, hardly a relevant anecdote to worry.

But if the humans are the hardware upon which the matrix software runs, it explains why people like Neo can outperform the agents, and why the AIs need the humans to be conscious, and why they aren't able to find an alternative power source? Using people as batteries doesn't really make sense. All you needed was for Morpheus to hold up a computer chip instead of a battery -it actually makes a lot more sense, the battery thing made me scratch my head, but the computer chip thing is obvious.

Wait... Simon Kinberg producing..

Does that mean Simon Kinberg is adapting Neuromancer?

 

[WarRock]

How could this possibly turn out good? Remember how Hollywood execs inserted human batteries into The Matrix (which made no sense at all) because they thought people were too dumb to understand the concept of a neuronal network?

This makes so much more sense it's not even funny.

I hope this materialises, the book is amazing. I read it in 2 days, couldn't put it down.

Love the book, but unsure i it will translate very well now. I hope to be proven wrong.
