Joe Cornish Attacks the Book ‘Snow Crash’

Since his outstanding debut with Attack the Block, Joe Cornish has been searching for his next project. Now it looks like he’s finally found it.

Cornish has signed on to write and direct the film adaptation of Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, the dystopian cyberpunk classic about a sword-wielding pizza man trying to save the world from a computer virus.

Paramount has been trying off and on to get the film made almost since the novel’s 1992 release. Will Cornish be the man to finally realize the cinematic vision?

Allow it!
