The Matrix: a world within a world, a graphic representation of the databanks of every computer in the human system; a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate users in the Sprawl alone. And by Case, computer cowboy, until his nervous system is grievously maimed by a client he double crossed. Japanese experts in nerve splicing and microbionics have left him broken and close to death. But at last Case has found a cure. He’s going back into the system. Not for the bliss of cyberspace but to steal again, this time from the big boys, the almighty megacorps. In return, should he survive, he will stay cured.
Last we heard, Vincenzo Natali (
Splice, Cube) had been tapped to direct the big-screen adaptation of the seminal science fiction novel. The movie is to be produced and financed in Canada by Prodigy Pictures in conjunction with Telefilm Canada, and is expected to shoot sometime this year. There is no release date set.
