(Personally, I never forgave them for killing off Hicks and Newt before the plot even kicked in.) It’s unclear to me who wrote the first draft, seeing how there’s one credited to Twohy and one to Ward and Fasano. Perhaps multiple writers were commissioned at the same time?

Did you ever see Johnny Mnemonic? Ignore the overall quality of the movie for a moment… Did you at least like the idea of jacking your brain into the internet? Gibson’s novel Neuromancer conveyed that in a fun and exciting way. The book was optioned, and Chuck Russell turned in a draft. Read a review of the Russell draft at UGO Screenwriter’s Voice.That didn’t get made, so Gibson took a crack at it himself.
