Deadpool’s Tim Miller Lands Gig As Director of Adaptation Of Cyberpunk Novel Neuromancer – LRM Online (press release) (blog)

The world just a little bit bleaker the day we learned that Deadpool director Tim Miller would be dropping out of Deadpool 2. Deadpool was a film thats been a long time in the making, and the fact that one of its key architects wouldnt be around for the second one was a bit of a gut punch to fans of the first. However, there was a bright side to this sad bit of news. While Miller would no longer be involved in Deadpool, it did open him up to work on other big projects.

Not long after, it was revealed that he was in early talks to direct an eventual reboot of James Camerons The Terminator. However, with the rights still not set to revert back to Cameron until 2019. Another project Millers been attached to is the adaptation Influx, though the current status of that is unknown. Now, Miller is attached to yet another novel adaptation.

According to Deadline, Miller is on board to direct Neuromancer, a cyberpunk film from sci-fi author William Gibson. The synopsis for the novel on Amazon is as follows:

No screenwriter is currently set to adapt the story, but the studio is working on setting someone up as we speak. On board to produce is X-Men: Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg.

Between Terminator, Influx, and now Neuromancer on Millers plate (not to mention his producing Sonic the Hedgehog), it seems like the filmmaker has lined up the next few years quite nicely. As of right now, each of these projects are in various states of development, so we wouldnt be surprised if he were to tackle all these films over a 2-3 year period, which would make for quite the packed release schedule down the line.

Are you excited to see Miller join another project? Let us know your thoughts down below!
