I can't judge the movie without having seen it yet, I imagine it would be different from his usual stuff.

Considering the fact that I haven't read much of Sandman, I can't really defend him there, but American Gods is among my absolute favorite books. It's an amazing read.

Other works of his are just as imaginative and astounding.

It's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but I'm inclined to disagree.

*drools* I would be at the midnight release of it without a second though....probably a few days in advance. Wonder if they will ever do it.

During the panel he did at Con which was pretty much just him talking and answering questions from the audience, someone asked if American Gods was ever going into the works and he said that there are a few rumors floating about and he wouldn't be surprised if the movie does come up eventually, but it is unfortunately not in the cards as of yet.

He also brought up the idea of a Good Omens movie--according to Neil, it will not be made unless someone gives Terry Pratchett $70 million. While some audience members put up the idea of passing a hat around and each of us dropping in $10, Neil disagreed with the idea since Terry always has trouble with producers and he doesn't want Terry to have to hunt us each down for an argument.

Ideas that are in the works, however, his children's book Coraline (which Tim Burton's already working on), Beowulf (which is about to hit theaters soon in 3D and 2D. Believe me it looks AWESOME) and one he's about to announce: the DEATH movie.

Many have been arguing for some Sandman love in movie form, but Neil has already been saying that he would much rather have no movie made for it than to have a butchered, poor Sandman movie made.

I saw the commercial for this movie and it looked pretty good. Its a movie I would go see, definitely worth my time from what I have seen.

I know I cant really elaborate much on this post as you guys are, but from what I have read here and from what I have seen, yeah.

Got them! Got the advance screening tickets for Stardust! So we get to see it a day before most people (except for Rogue who already saw it ). I'm really quite exited about this. There are so many parts I'm looking forward to, especially just seeing the fair.

Yay!

Wait... DEATH movie? I am intrigued. Good Omens would make an awesome movie, but I don't think it could be done without butchering it a little.

I'd forgotten about this, but supposedly Neil based a talking tree part on Tori Amos (who's a long time friend of his) and she sang about it in her song "Horses." The line goes "And if there is a way to find you, I will find you. But will you find me if Neil makes me a tree" :

Glad I saw this movie. Honestly, hadn't heard much about the author (too busy with my head in Paranormal Romance), but I can see why he is loved.

Oh, and Robert Deniro....love him!

I laughed and cried...signs of a good film.
