Snow Crash movie?!
Looks like they might be willing to try making this book into a movie again. Joe Cornish has been tapped to direct.
Quote:


However, Cornish does seem to be uniquely suited for the role with his experience on Attack the Block, so fans of the novel seem to be reservedly optimistic that he can create a film that represents the novel well. Considering that Cornish is rumored to have turned down Die Hard 5 for this opportunity, it would seem that he’s excited and confident in his abilities.
I am not familiar with Joe Cornish, so I am interested in hearing any comments from others.

The book will be awfully hard to adapt into a movie that can represent its satire and drama in one brush stroke. I don't know about this.

Same here.
I'm afraid it would come off as some sort of matrix/tron hybrid with nowhere even close to that kind of budget.
I'm skeptical to say the least.

While I do not mind looking at Megan Fox, if she is YT or ANY other part I will not be happy at all.

I first saw the news on slashdot and it was suggested Dwayne Johnson or Jason Momoa be Raven.

I haven't read this since I was maybe 14, but that's definitely one of the things I remember most. Some of the key parts are a little... academic.T

his book is also what makes me despise the current internet usage of the word "meme."

I just realized that I can barely remember anything from that book. The pizza delivery scene is about the only thing that really stuck with me.

I distinctly remember enjoying that book, but it's all a foggy mess in my head at this point. There were glass knives and a trash island, and thats about all I can come up with.

I love this book. And I'm with Kripsy. I have nightmares involving Keanu or James Macavoy.

James McAvoy playing Shia Labeuf playing Keanu Reeves playing Brad Pitt from Fight Club.

It would be like Wanted but with less Angelina Jolie.

Once Keanu Reeves shows up in the chain, don't you automatically resolve the ending to a cardboard cut-out with a speech bubble that says, "Whoa"?
