Gridlinked - Fan made poster

Neal Asher has been commenting on the casting call in the comments under his interview. Clive Owen is his current favourite and I could see that. Neal also emailed me with the link for a fan made poster for his first Ian Cormac book, Gridlinked. It was created by Carlo and it is pretty cool. Similar to the covers of some of the books in the series.

Neal Asher writing story for new Heavy Metal movie?

Neal Asher is one of my fave Sci-Fi authors of the moment. Check out Gridlinked and follow it up with the rest of the Cormac saga. They are all high concept, mega violent stories with lots of cool war droids, AI spaceships, Terminator like Golem, Mr Crane, secret agents, immortal pirates, nasty aliens called Hooders, Gabbleducks, and a giant alien thing called Dragon. I have long wanted to see some of his work on the big screen. Cheers to Andy D for sending me this little snippet.

This from an interview back in March:

John Markley: Have anyone expressed interest in adapting your work for television or film?

Neal Asher: A company called Blue Train Entertainment expressed an interest in Gridlinked (they were involved in The Tuxedo along with Dreamworks) but nothing came of that, then recently I got a query from a story editor at Twentieth Century Fox about Hilldiggers, which again came to nothing. However, another query/request has come up through my own internet connection, y’know, all that compulsive communicating. It’s presently turning into something very interesting about which I am only allowed to say that "I’ve been working on some ideas for a ‘Heavy Metal’ feature". I’m afraid that if I said any more I’d have to shoot you. More about this, possibly, in a month or so.
