    As long as Uwe Boll isn't involved, it's all good.

      Rooster Teeth can barely hold a plot together, let alone try to string along an entire movie. Seriously, after the past two seasons, RvB has jumped the shark... or Puma.

    The Matrix could easily have been renamed Shadowrun the movie.

    Meanwhile, Shadowrun could have been named "Neuromancer the Game".

    Alex Garland is a pretty good writer. Not only did he write 28 Days Later, but Danny Boyle's other, underrated movie "The Beach", and the book of the same name that it was based on. I've read said book, and had a tough time putting it down.

    I don't know how he would deal with Sci-Fi, but it seems like the movie is in good hands
