I was really hoping for a Snow Crash movie. That project has been in development hell for years. Instead, we got Ready Player One, which is like Snow Crash for dummies. There's a trailer for a low-budget version of Snow Crash.[1] It's awful. I don't hold out much hope for that project. Snow Crash is about a conspiracy between a media baron and a televangelist to take over the world. That would upset a lot more people now than in 1992.

Ready Player One was terrible. The secret that was hidden for years was discovered by someone just trying to drive backwards on a racing map that tons of people play every day? I get that it's hard to drive the map backwards, but come the fuck on, gamers would discover that in the first week.

I'm still waiting for a Spawn reboot and universe now that Dune finally got a big budget version. Apparently Voltron too. Don't give up hope.

That trailer is brilliant for what it is. I would love to see a proper version of Snow Crash get theatrical release or maybe even the high-concept-tv-series-with-ten-episodes treatment the big streamers are cooking up these days.

  I would watch a full-length movie of Snow Crash in the style of this trailer! I think it may be a high school student project.

    Since I saw Into The Spiderverse, I’ve been hoping for a Snow Crash with that animation style.

      Different book/author, but if you haven’t seen A Scanner Darkly then give it a go

I love Snow Crash too, for what it is, and I'm sure someone could make a worthwhile movie out of exploring the concepts, but then I'm not really sure it's worthwhile, as it wouldn't need to be strictly based on that work. But if someone is hoping for a scene accurate depiction I'm equally unsure it's possible, or that anyone would want to see it, between everything from the "radical"(/Rule of Cool) Carmageddon pizza delivery for the mafia and variable rollerskate wheel sizes to the main character literally being named Hiro Protagonist. It's a great nostalgic time capsule for me, which also spawned a lot of other great works, but I'm fine with leaving it as that.
