Hayden Christensen, who played the rather effeminate and somewhat girlly young Darth Vader in the Star Wars prequels, is rumored to have accepted the lead role in a movie adaptation of the 1984 cyberpunk novel, “Neuromancer.” It would be produced by Peter Hoffman and directed by Joseph Khan, according to rumors.

Of course, the movie is based on the groundbreaking novel by William Gibson. Here’s a brief synopsis:

“…tells the story of Case, an out-of-work computer hacker hired by a mysterious patron to participate in a seemingly impossible crime. The novel examines the concepts of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, genetic engineering, multinational corporations overpowering the traditional nation-state and cyberspace long before these ideas became fashionable in popular culture including the internet itself.”

I know alot of people have been waiting for this one. I can only hope that Hayden Christensen hits puberty in time for filming. His weak-ass, prissy Dark Lord Of The Sith left alot to be desired.
