C. The Neuromancer Movie Project
Mrs. Rosenberg and Tyler began to write the screenplay for
the Neuromancer movie in 1986. On November 26, 1986, Cabana Boy
hired a producer and a production designer.
The Neuromancer movie was planned to include many special
effects. At its Shepperton Studios office, Cabana Boy prepared
storyboards showing key scenes and costume designs, and sketches
showing special effects and makeup. Mrs. Rosenberg frequently
traveled between New York, London, and California to work on the
Cabana Boy project.
On August 4, 1988, Chasen sent the Neuromancer screenplay to
the U.S. Copyright Office for registration on behalf of Cabana
Boy.
D. Kinart’s and Tyler’s Departure
In July 1986, Cabana Boy and its shareholders met and
removed Kinart as an officer and director of Cabana Boy. Cabana
Boy agreed to pay Kinart 1 percent of the net profits from the
distribution and exhibition of any film based on the book
Neuromancer or a related production.
Tyler stopped working for Cabana Boy at the end of 1987 and
resigned as an officer and director on February 18, 1988. Mrs.
Rosenberg continued to work on the Neuromancer project after
Tyler left.
