>Netflix is working on a new TV series about a gruff detective, a troubling femme-fatale, and a mysterious murder — a pretty stock noir setup, if it weren't also set 500 years in the future. The series is based on Altered Carbon, a cyberpunk detective novel from author Richard K. Morgan. It's set in a world where human consciousness is regularly transferred from one body to the next; this particular story focuses on a former soldier whose newest body gets him wrapped up in big conspiracy and someone else's love life.
>An initial 10-episode season is planned based off a script by showrunner Laeta Kalogridis, who wrote the screenplay for Shutter Island and co-wrote Terminator Genisys. Netflix intends to produce an additional 150 hours of programming this year — 600 hours in total, up from last year's 450 hours — so you can expect to see it picking up new shows and ordering new seasons of existing shows at a rapid pace. Altered Carbon's main character is the star of several other novels by Morgan, so if the show succeeds, it'll have plenty of additional material work from in season two.
Netflix should remake Spiderman for the fourth time instead of making new content.

YES
Provided they don't change the source material too much. If it's going to be just lightly """"based"""" on the book it'll be trash.

Eh our boy max has said a good script can be shat on by the production?

>If it's not based on the book it's trash

Because the book is good. Taking only the superficial from it and making up the rest will only yield shit results.

Cyberpunk is neon lights these days mate.
So what, are they gonna change actor every time Takeshi changes sleeve?
>The series takes place some 500 years into the future, in the UN Protectorate, a totalitarian government spread over several different planets
>hero Takeshi Kovacs, an ex-Envoy turned criminal/mercenary/bodyguard/detective, who uses his talents for problem solving coupled with insane violence to earn a buck.
>Laurens Bancroft, has recently returned from the dead (thanks to a personality backup) after an apparent suicide, but maintains that he would never kill himself. Due to the backup schedule he is missing the 48 hours prior to his death. He hires Kovacs to find out who killed him and why.

Yeah. Probably because anti-corporate themes and messages like what true cyberpunk is built around don't fly too well with the corporations that can afford to make sci-fi TV shows and movies.You now realize that you are living in "They Live".
