Neil Gaiman

Looks like Netflix is going to do a Sandman series. Pretty pumped, especially after how great Good Omens was.

American Gods, Good Omens, now Sandman. Dude will be making bank in residuals.

Just watched Good Omens, and I was really impressed. Might even watch it again, and I never do that.

Gaimen wrote Coraline (novella turned kids movie) as well. Guy is doing just fine. Would like Neverwhere to get a show. This just reminds me I still need to read amansi boys

Neverwhere would be outstanding...definitely would take folks places in London that they never were aware of...Mind the Gap.

You would like a Neverwhere show to get a re-make. It was originally a BBC limited series made in the 90's that Gaiman worked on. After it was completed, he rewrote the script into a novel. The Neverwhere series was good considering the times it was made in and the limited budget they had to work with, but a modern version would be amazing. And yes, read Anansi Boys. I re-read it again this year and forgot how much I loved that book. It's great.
