This can't end well.

You're not Puffy Treat?! What gives? I am confused....

Neither Liam Nelson nor Samuel L. Jackson came off well under Lucas' script and direction. So it's quite possible that Hayden Christensen is a far better actor than anyone would credit.

Yeah, but he was really, really, really bad in Star Wars.
Every time I hear of a movie coming out based on a good book, it's like I'm playing Russian Roulette with five of the six slots filled.
When people ask me what I thing of *newly announced movie X*, I resort to saying "I hope it doesn't suck"
I hope Neuromancer doesn't suck.

How is that a good casting choice in any way shape or form?

Well, apparently, their target audience is people who have read the book and 13 year old girls.

I liked Hayden Christensen in both Life as a House and Awake.

The book did not impress me all that much, though the concept of connecting a computer to the brain was really cool.

He was pretty good in Shattered Glass as well.

I liked him on the Higher Ground tv show. Unfortunately, doing well in some indy flicks and badly in a blockbuster gets you branded a bad actor.

I'll only see it if they cast Jake Lloyd as the romantic interest.
Why, oh why, dear hatrack, and all that you oversee, does hollywood latch onto such untalented people.
The sad part is that movie acting is EEEAAAASY.
