Although Terry Gilliam has long hoped to adapt Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed comic fantasy as a movie, Good Omens now appears to be moving toward television. Terry Jones and Gavin Scott are reportedly “in talks” to adapt the novel, which centers on the birth of the Antichrist and efforts by an angel and demon to avert the apocalypse.
Author Neil Gaiman says the long-in-development adaptation of Death: The High Cost of Living has stalled again, this time because of the restructuring at Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment: “… Whether or not it will come back to life, I don’t know. Death seems amazingly hard to kill.”
The Sandman, Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed comic book, is in the early stages of development as a television series. The title as had a tortured relationship with Hollywood, where a planned film adaptation has languished since at least the mid-1990s.
Neil Gaiman has been talking, somewhat obliquely, about the episode of BBC’s Doctor Who that he’s written, and shared a scene from the ten pages that have already been cut for time before production even began.
