Concept Artwork For Snowcrash?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-it-be-nice dept.

There's some other cool stuff on that site too, but the images aren't quite high enough resolution to qualify for Rob's First Rule of Art [?] ;)

  1. The only acceptable ending by FascDot+Killed+My+Pr · · Score: 5

    The only way I'd watch the movie is if they are faithful to the ending: all the characters appear on screen and say to each other "Well....I guess this is the end of the movie. I guess we'll just leave then."

  2. The OTHER reason SnowCrash won't get made by Bill Gates · · Score: 5
    There's a few reasons SnowCrash is unlikely...

    The story is complex, the sets would have to be extremely expensive and/or digital ala Episode1, the Uneducated Masses would think it was a rip-off of The Matrix...

    But another thing to consider is that large portions of the book are a thinly veiled jab at L Ron Hubbard (AKA L Bob Rife).

    The Scientologists are pretty powerful in Hollywood...How do you think John Travolta managed to make what looks to be the huge stinking turd of this year... Battlefield Earth?
