It would take one hell of a director but maybe. The descriptions of a lot of things in the book are abstract and weird. Things and ideas are sometimes described as if you are already familiar with them and the world. It would take someone with vision. I'm also worried that if it were done well, it may not have a wide enough appeal to please the execs at the box office.

Apple is making it into a TV show right now, and I'm expecting to be disappointed. Most media has been too Netflixified.

I hadn't hear about that, but I think of all the streaming content producers, Apple has the best track record for producing quality content. But yeah, the fact that I barely remember reading Neuromancer, and what I do remember was confusion, I bet that's a tough needle to thread.
