Neuromancer to be butchered for cinema?

God, how I hope not. "Neuromancer" left such dazzling images in my mind's eye, due in no small part to Gibson's smooth, lethal prose. I'm not sure I could countenance a screen version; more likely I'd wind up in a megaplex parking lot wielding a placard, a megaphone and a box of "Neuromancer" hardcopies in a vainglorious attempt to dissuade movie-goers.
