Still, several filmmakers have tried and failed to bring the ambitious science fiction project to the big screen over the years, including music video directors Chris Cunningham and Joseph Kahn ('Torque,' 'Detention'), before 'Cube' and 'Splice' filmmaker Natali came aboard in 2010. However, despite this popularity and influential status, 'Neuromancer' has long been considered unfilmable. The landmark Canadian book influenced movies like 'Hackers,' 'The Matrix,' and even real-world internet culture (the term 'cyberspace' was coined by Gibson in the novel). Along with the movie 'Blade Runner,' Gibson's award-winning novel is considered one of the most important and influential cyberpunk works ever produced. Set in a distant and dystopian future where massive corporations wield more power than governments, 'Neuromancer' follows a crew of hackers and cyborgs attempting to pull off the ultimate cyberspace heist.

The Movie Hole is reporting that Wahlberg and Neeson may be in discussions to join the Canadian film as the titular elite hacker and his mysterious employer, respectively. Rumours are swirling that Mark Wahlberg ('The Fighter') and Liam Neeson ('Taken') are in talks to play the leads in Canadian director Vicenzo Natali's adaptation of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel 'Neuromancer.'
