neuromancer news: coilhouse crowd thinks movie “could be good”

If you’ve been checking up on the Neuromancer movie news, you’ll probably be aware that Case has been renamed to Cage in the official press material, the teaser poster looks like a Bauhaus/steampunk wet dream on mescaline and a tint of artstyness and Hayden Christensen is not listed on the movie’s IMDB page at the moment.

You might not know, though, that there’s a longer and quite creative thread about Neuromancer on Coilhouse (who have actually released their first print version that doesn’t get into wide circulation so order them like fuck, I’ve already done so) and there you have a YouTube embed of Kahn’s version of the George Michael track Freeek and it looks very slick to be cyberpunkish, if anything. If Kahn can keep a steady hand on the visuals, Neuromancer’s going to be a decent slap on the face. (via coilhouse)

I’ll ask the same question here, though: tell me about your ideas, who’d you cast as the main characters?

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
