Neuromancer
Neuromancer is most definitely dead.

Chris Cunningham and Neuromancer author William Gibson began work in 2000 on the script to this film, based on the Gibson novel, but weren't able to work out all of the bugs.

On November 18, 2004, in the FAQ on the William Gibson Board, Gibson was asked:
Q: Is it true there's a movie of Neuromancer in the works?
A: Perpetually, it seems, and going on a quarter of a century now. The most recently rumoured version, to have been directed by Chris Cunningham, is now definitely not happening.

Numerous attempts were made to produce this before Chris came along. We can also note that none of the Neuromancer scripts on the net are real. Seven Arts Pictures owns production rights to the film. Aphex Twin was also tipped to script the soundtrack.

In an August 1999 Spike Magazine interview, Gibson remarked that Neuromancer was Chris' Wind in the Willows. "Chris is my own 100 per cent personal choice," he says firmly. "My only choice. The only person I've met who I thought might have a hope in hell of doing it right. I went back to see him in London just after he'd finished the Bjork video, and I sat on a couch beside this dead sex little Bjork robot, except it was wearing Aphex Twin's head. We talked."

Gibson's 2003 novel Pattern Recognition features a character with the same profile as Chris, including a female robot in his apartment from one of his videos.

A Scanner Darkly
Chris also tried to adapt Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly into a script, without success. "I couldn't figure out how to approach it without ruining the essentials. It was a lesson for me, that I should have more faith in a world of my own, rather than attempt any kind of cannibalism." (RES)

Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman also tried to adapt it. His first draft is here. Anyway, now A Scanner Darkly is finally being filmed and it has been written for the screen and directed by Richard Linklater. Its trailer can be seen here.
