I had the good fortune to get a chance to see a script for Neuromancer when the hype first started, around 1988-1989.
If the script that's being used is the same one I saw, a LOT of stuff from the book was cut out, but the script was still around 170 pages or so -- nearly a 3 hour film.
At that length, studios might be reluctant to make it.

This guy clearly was trying to "push the buttons" of Pilot users everywhere. It's such an obvious ploy that it's almost pitiful.
