Hayden “Darth Vader” Christensen is being courted to star in the big screen adaptation of William Gibson's 1984 cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.
The flick is said to be as a $70 million independent production that would find Christensen cast as Case, “a talented hacker whose poisoned nervous system reduces him to hustling Japan's dystopian streets before he gets the offer of his lifetime.”
Presumably to romance neuros.
Along with Blade Runner, Neuromancer is often heralded for exploring topics like of artificial intelligence, cyberspace, virtual reality and technology overkill way before these subjects became an part of modern culture.
Sadly, Torque director Joseph Kahn will helm the otherwise cool sounding project.

And it'll be a lot of ruined movies on his way to becoming a good actor. Maybe we should just introduce him to the Producer of the worst movies in the world, Jennifer Lopez. They'd make a great team.

The problem here is that I saw enough of Torque to know that it sucked, so Hayden getting good direction for this movie probably won't happen. So yeah, it's probably still going to be lame.
not a bad actor has anybody here watched life as a house or shattered glass?
I hope it turns out OK.
