    • I remember when music video director Chris Cunningham was in talks to do this over a decade ago but then he disappeared.NBQ00
    • @NBQ00 Yes, with an Aphex Twin soundtrack. Fuck whoever obstructed that, in their empty eyeholes.jagara
    • He didn't disappear, he just left the project because of creative differences.jagara
    • where is the pilot?sted
    • jagara, he did disappear more or less due to psychological (and/ or drug problems) is what I've heard. He hasn't been active in over a decade reallyNBQ00
    • now where have u heard that ? fru the grape vines i guess...neverscared
    • seth rogen would be good as case + charlize theron as molly... directed by greta gerwigneverscared

    • @NBQ00, really, okay, didn't know. Heard creative differences :)jagara
    • Creative differences over the correct amount of drugs to be onwoowahesque
    • PLEASE DON'T SUCKgarbage
    • jag, I didn't necessarily mean on this project, just in general. Chris stopped doing new work more or less (only small stuff) and never got into filmNBQ00
    • Which is a shame because he was so damn talented. He did some of my favorite music videos (Aphex, Leftfield, Björk, etc)NBQ00
    • Somebody who was in the know said few years ago that Chris had psychological and substance abuse issues which led him to a creative burn out.NBQ00
    • Not too convinced about what they did with Peripheral... but heymaikel
    • @NBQ00 That's a real shame. He's made some of my favorite visual art. Hope he'll be back at some point.jagara
    • I always imagined the soundtrack being futuristic dub techno like Pole (I think that's also how Gibson describes in the book)yuekit
    • when their are up in the freeside spacestation by tessier ashpoole they meet some rastas and stuff..neverscared
    • Yeah that's what I meant, it literally describes futuristic dub music (published in 1984).yuekit
    • gibson is mehcannonball1978
    • @yuekit I always imagined it with a retrofuturistic electro soundtrack a la https://www.youtube.…jagara
