Predestination, an Australian movie based on Robert Heinlein's "All You Zombies..."
One of the things I like about this movie is that it's set in Heinlein's "futuristic" version of the 1970's, not the 1970's we got.
If they do Neuromancer right, it'll have pocket sized VCR machines and the televsion screens will be grwy, not blue.
Hope so! Shadowrun, which is basically Gibson's sprawl plus magic, set in the 2050s in original editions from around 1990 -
Later editions added wireless computer connections to keep up with present technology, but wifi just doesn't feel cyberpunk, so they later added some weird lore reason to go back to needing to plug in, for recent editions. Good change.
I LOVE Shadowrun, but it would be so criminally expensive to do (and do well) as live action that I would be genuinely worried if someone tried.
Come to think of it, Shadowrun lore is a Cyberpunk 2077 crossover with The Witcher (the awakening ≈ the conjunction), and witchers could work fine on SR physical-adept rules... 🤔
