An adaptation of Pattern Recognition is supposedly in the works.

I've always been a big fan of Gibson penned Johnny Mnemonic, which, if you can get past the bad acting and wooden dialogue, has plenty of trademark Gibson cyberpunk tropes.

Actually, there is also a film adaptation of New Rose Hotel, which is in the same setting as Johnny Mnemonic and the Sprawl trilogy.

Yep!

With Christopher Walken, no less--it's one of my favorite obscure gems of the cyberpunk film genre.
