Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...In the Works: Joe Cornish Attached to Adapt Neal Stephenson's Cyber Thriller 'Snow Crash'
"Snow Crash" is set in the former half of the 21st century (dates unspecified), and follows hacker Hiro Protagonist who discovers a computer virus/drug called Snow Crash with the terrifying power to affect users in both their physical and virtual lives. As the use of Snow Crash becomes an epidemic, Hiro must figure out why it was created in the first place.
Cornish did a bang-up job with "Attack the Block," breathing scary, razor-edge life into what is often a tired genre. (Those hairy, glowing-eyed aliens are some of the freshest and most horrifying in recent memory, along with the powder-white proto-humans in "Prometheus.") We're fascinated to see what he does with an adaptation that's been daunting the industry for 20 years.
Check out the TOH interview with Cornish:

HUGE HUGE fan of Attack the Block. I still think it was the best film I saw last summer (and I've got the blu-ray as well) and I also had a chance to interview Cornish too.. Can't wait to see what he does next

Great coverage of this. Finally. Never thought I'd see a Stephenson film.
