Tim Miller To Direct The Adaptation Of Neuromancer
Despite the fact that he was pulled out of Deadpool 2 there doesn't appear to be any bad blood between Miller and 20th Century Fox. Deadline has confirmed that Miller has been brought on to direct the adaptation of Neuromancer.
The studio will soon set a writer to adapt a tale that has drawn the interest of several filmmakers in the past. The logline: Case was one of the best console cowboys until he stole from one of his employers, who in turn damaged his nervous system so that he cannot access cyberspace anymore. Broke and destroying himself, Case is contacted by Molly, a heavily modified razorgirl, to work for a shadowy colonel who needs a cyberspace cowboy for a secret mission. The employer fixes Case's damaged brain, but implants a slow dissolving poison to make sure the cyberspace wiz does his bidding, in attempting to abduct a perverse psychopath who is able to create holograms with the force of his mind.
There isn't a screenwriter the production yet but Simon Kindberg has been brought on to produce. Miller is currently working on another Fox production called Influx and is a member of the Terminator writers room.
