Cyberspace, artificial intelligence, street tech, cyborgs, shady megacorporations. These are just some of the staples of Cyberpunk, a science-fiction subgenre that began as a literary movement spearheaded by authors like William Gibson (whose “Neuromancer” won the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards in 1984), Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, Lewis Shiner, John Shirley and Neal Stephenson.

Director Michel Gondry has been doing some press interviews at SXSW this week for his new documentary The Thorn in the Heart, and as you might expect, he has been fielding a lot of questions about the status of possible projects to come after The Green Hornet. It turns out he has quite a bit on the go... so much, in fact, that it's hard to keep it all straight. I'll do my best to recap, courtesy of The Playlist [1]: His adaptation of Rudy Rucker's sci-fi novel The Master of Space and Time is no longer happening, but instead he is doing another sci-fi movie called Return Of The Ice Kids. This one is "about a group of teenagers who invent a kind of water that makes you hear music". Ellen Page is attached to star as the main character Nancy, and it is being written by Keith Bunin...

Director Michel Gondry is down at South By Southwest right now promoting his documentary "The Thorn in His Heart," which offers a highly personal look at his family. MTV's Josh Horowitz snagged a few minutes to chat with him, and he asked if Gondry would like to follow up "The Green Hornet" with something similarly epic in its scale.
"I'd like to do a movie of this size with my own story, which would be quite amazing. But we'll see," he said. "I'm developing a screenplay with a writer right now about kids who travel [into] the future by mistake and a machine [that] keeps people younger... ehhh, it's complicated to explain."
Gondry has long been working on an adaptation of Rudy Rucker's 1984 sci-fi novel "The Master of Space and Time." He told The Playlist this past weekend that the project is finished, but he's working on something "similar."

So I was going to review another movie this week but a friend of mine suggested doing something new and different, he suggested I try reviewing something that didn’t have pictures. I gave it a momentary thought and said ‘Sure! I don’t need art to be able to read’ so he went into his bathroom and came out with Beggars in Spain. I smiled and said ‘cool’ and he said ‘good luck genius ’. Hey now, I’m no ‘pure read’ slacker! I can read with the best of them- I’ve got the William Gibson library, the Neal Stephenson criticals and All the Rudy Rucker’s and I know the answer to Do Androids Dream of Electric sheep? So don’t go taunting me with a Nancy Kress novel. No sir, I will read this book and lay to waste all reviewers that have come before me. Someone...
