Cornish is going to have his hands full with writing and directing this Stephenson’s book as many critics think a successful adaptation is impossible because of the dis-ambiguous nature of the narrative. While the book is certainly a sci-fi action novel, there are lofty ideas presented by Stephenson that are metaphysical in nature and thus will be difficult to translate to the silver screen.

Wondering if there’s scope for a miniature R2D2 and C-3PO segment a-la Adam&Joe. Hmmm…
