I feel like the window of opportunity for a Neuromancer film has closed... so many of the tropes that it invented have now become clichés that at this point the film would just feel stale. That's what happened with the Ghost in the Shell movie and Neuromancer would have it even worse.

Nah, the original Ghost in the Shell movie still feels fresh. What happened to the Ghost in the Shell movie, was a mixture of whitewashing, script butchering, and plain-old bad direction, etc. Not to mention that it was "reinventing" something that already existed, in a sub-standard way.
