William Gibson essentially created the cyberpunk genre in 1984 with his debut novel, Neuromancer, which has proven to be extremely difficult for Hollywood to adapt. However, Apple TV+'s upcoming Neuromancer series is now one step closer to happening. Via Variety, Callum Turner (Masters of the Air) has signed on to star in Neuromancer as the lead character, Henry Dorsett Case.
In the novel, Case is a former hacker whose nervous system was damaged by his former employers in retaliation for stealing from them. Case's mind and body are locked out of cyberspace until he is hired by a razorgirl assassin, Molly Millions, and her boss, Armitage. They offer Case a cure for his condition in exchange for his services as a hacker, with the full knowledge that he could be crippled again if he fails them.
