>>221385740Paramount was supposed to make it years ago, but the project ended up in development hell. Joe Cornish is currently attached to direct it.
>>221385740They did. It was called the Matrix. Every single cyberpunk novel in the 80s was an inspiration for the Wachowskis.
If they made it in the 90s or early 2000s I wouldn't have cared and probably would have enjoyed it. If they made it today I would call it woke and refuse to watch it. Simple as.
I prefer the diamond age. It is more mature and heartfelt story with Nelly.fun fact: the blonde teen shows up as a teacher in a boarding school in the diamond age.
>>221385740>Hiro ProtagonistLOL HOW LAME
Like most dystopian fiction it was way too optimistic. The US still leads the world in movies, music, software, and pizza delivery in the book. In reality, the first two are completely in the toilet and the last two have been utterly ruined by jeets.
It has the refugee boat plotpoint from that racist book. Never put that together.
>>221385740Because every character in the book is a caricature. I mean the main antagonist is a rapist native american. The main chick is a white girl literally named YT. The main dude is a weeb black named Hiro Protagonist who works for the wop mob as a pizza delivery man. If it got a movie release half would call it racist and the other half would dismiss it as some kind of parody film
It would have to be a period piece set in the alt-1990s or something. Hiro and Raven are both literal Boomers with WW2 vet fathers.
