No.... no... nooooooo.

This probably isn't going to be good, is it?

(To clarify: I don't really know who Joe Cornish is. People keep saying he did Attack the Block, but that doesn't mean anything to me. Oh, and, er, apparently he's the Joe of Adam and Joe. That surprised me.

I just can't currently conceive of a film version of Snow Crash which doesn't suck.)

Could easily be a disaster. Probably, though, it just won't happen. Most films don't, and this one has already Not Happened at least once.

It will face the same problem as the alleged Neuromancer film - how not to look like a cheap Matrix knock-off. Of course, if the studios had got their fingers out and made them when they should have, this issue wouldn't arise.

Argh, earworm from hell. Crash.

Attack the Block was a surprisingly good film. Emphasis on the surprising. It has a terrible premise and yet the result is a rather charming little action movie.

Snow Crash does seem as though it's going to need a lot of cuts to fit, but I still have some hope it could end up watchable. My main concern is that it probably wanted to be released before The Matrix, because it's going to struggle not to look a bit derivative in places.
