Plain Old Tele Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Joe Cornish is on board to direct Neal Stephenson's SNOW CRASH. Frickin' awesome!Here's the Deadline article and a quick synopsis:http://www.deadline....h-at-paramount/ The book is set in the near future, when the U.S. exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise city-states, and private enterprise and the mafia control everything. The plot involves a computer virus that is manifested as a drug called Snow Crash that is transmitted visually from computer screens to unsuspecting users, frying their brains. Hiro Protagonist – that’s the character’s name – a computer hacker/samurai swordsman/pizza delivery driver who investigates and tries to stop the takeover of postmodern civilization.It's a great book and a fun read, and Joe Cornish might just the guy to pull it off.
