Somehow it doesn’t surprise me the least that AC was butchered in the screenplay so I guess it is better that the movie is not going to happen. I suppose something would die inside me like when I saw Judge Dredd movie after waiting for it all those years.

I’m afraid the same would happen to Mirrored Heavens. A big budget Hollywood film just can’t happen without tragic relationships etc.

I’m not sure the Altered Carbon screenplay is going anywhere right now. True, Silver bought the rights for a million bucks back in 2004 . . but currently, IMDB lists a release date of 2009 (with a broken link), and I suspect the project is languishing in turnaround.

But if anyone has better data, I’d be curious. The other one to watch is Neuromancer; if that project continues to pick up momentum, Altered Carbon’s chances would be bolstered.

I should also note that I read a draft of the AC screenplay in 2007, and it was problematic, to say the least. They gave Kovacs a daughter, for one thing, and a lot of Morgan’s original unrelenting vision had fallen by the wayside.

I’m a big movie fan, always have been, I mean what Sci-fi geek isn’t? Anyways I’ve developed a 5th sense when it comes to movies, knowing if they are really worth my time or not. Whenever I see “Ain’t it Cool News” quotes a movie as “best movie of all time” or “greatest movie” it normally blows big time. Check it out and I promise you 9 out of 10 times if “Ain’t it Cool News” backs a movie, it’s normally a movie you shouldn’t waste time on. I haven’t seen Avatar yet, but I can’t wait to see it. It looks amazing, so see Aicn put Avatar down, maybe it means it will be a great movie. But again if you are questionings whether a movie is shitty, look at who says its great. Look on the poster or the dvd cover, sometime you’ll see great critics or at least those who people listen to like Ebert for example, any movie you might think is shitty, I’ll bet Aicn is the only comment on the front of the dvd praising the movie. Check it out!!!

Especially looking at War Machine in Iron Man 2 I think that Dave’s books could be brought to light.

My understanding is that James McTeague who directed V for Vendetta and Ninja Assassin is attached to direct Altered Carbon with Joel Silver producing.

After seeing Iron Man it really reminded me of the mechs’ armor so at least that should be doable. I think Takeshi Kovacs books could also be adapted to film but would they do justice to these books? Somehow I would rather not see an adaptation of Mirrored Heavens or Burning Skies if they are not done properly.

I never said What Climate Change? Literacy issues? I just prefer problem solving to blood baths of smart and decent people.

And I am exotic, not a troll.

Morgan, would be interesting but any of the Takeshi Kovacs series would be seriously NC-17. The Envoys are somewhat similar to avatars, the Quellist flashbacks would be really interesting Now this is the Colonial Marines in another guise,
