The movie version of William Gibson's ground-breaking book Neuromancer is apparently moving forward — the production company GFM Films has devoted an entire page to the film:

The other piece of info on the page? A news item confirming that Liam Neeson has been offered the role of Armitage, and Mark Wahlberg has been offered the role of Case. These are both "pay or play" offers — apparently meaning that if the film doesn't get made, Neeson and Wahlberg still get money.
For those unfamiliar with the novel, it's a staple in the cyber-punk genre, crossing the Blade Runner distopian society with Johnny Mnemonic/Ghost in the Shell net intergration. Its a massive work, setting the standard for the next 30 years in the cyber punk ethos.
