Honestly? I hope not. If a true visionary were to direct it, Stanley Kubrick or Ridley Scott in their prime, or Denis Villeneuve, who seems to be able to do impossible things — maybe. Otherwise I’d expect it to be as dull and forgettable as most movies made from PKD sources — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adaptations_of_works_by_Philip_K._Dick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adaptations_of_works_b... I saw William Gibson read at Powell’s years ago, maybe around the Virtual Light era. Someone asked him about Johnny Mnemonic, about why Molly Millions wasn’t in it. He said something like, “I thought they were going to fuck up the movie, and if I’d let them write Molly into it then the studio would own her and I’d never be able to have her in a better movie.” So I’d hope that Gibson is involved in this, and has higher expectations or involvement than before.

I have 0 hope, given the people involved. >Graham Roland will serve as a writer, producer, and showrunner of Neuromancer. He is best known for his work on the hit show Lost and Amazon Prime Video’s Jack Ryan. Author William Gibson will also serve as an executive producer. We can also reveal that at least one episode will be directed by J.D. Dillard. His newest film, Devotion, based on a true story war drama starring Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country) and Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) is currently playing in theaters. Besides that, he is best known for his work on The Outsider.

  Roland only wrote for the last (sixth) season of Lost.
