‘American Gods’ TV adaptation casts Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday
I really enjoyed American Gods. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the character of Mr. Wednesday. Probably because I’ve only read the novel once, and that was a decade ago. Eons have passed. Brain cells have withered, popping out one by one by one under constant attack from caffeine and ennui. That said, I’m sure this is good news. How? I just am.
Neil Gaiman is getting his own TV series, adapting his short stories
Neil Gaiman! Getting a television show dedicated to adapting four of his short stories. Pretty cool! I don’t fuck with Gaiman as much as some people, but I have a healthy respect for the man, and a hearty love for American Gods.
Neil Gaiman is writing episodes of the ‘American Gods’ adaptation
Neil Gaiman is writing episodes of the American Gods adaptation for Starz. Which makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, how do you instill faith in an understandably cautious fanbase regarding an adaptation? You bring in the source material’s creator. Well, at least that instills faith in me.
‘Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham’ dropping in September
The first issue of Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham (is that seriously the fucking name) will drop in September. The release will be the realization of that miraculous (HAHAHA) announcement back in September 2013 that the famed franchise would see its Gaiman-run completed.
Gaiman’s ‘AMERICAN GODS’ getting TV Series on STARZ
As the American Gods turns! Yeah, lame topic sentence. Lazy, lazy. Just add “Subject X!” to the “as the world turns” cliche and unleash on groaning public souls. Anyways, whatever. There’s a new development in people developing American Gods for the screen BIG or SMALL. This latest possibility involves Starz. Or as I call it, the Station that Ruined Torchwood. I’m optimistic though, cause Bryan Fuller is helming it. And dude is talented.
Neil Gaiman’s ‘AMERICAN GODS’ getting another run at TV adaptation
American Gods. Getting another shot at life as a television series. I’ve been sitting on this one for a few days. Talked to some lovely people on the OL Facebook page about it. Ruminated further.Still don’t know how I feel about this.Ya see, it’s no longer being done over at HBO. Instead it’s being helmed by people responsible for some of CW’s lovely programming. (And not Arrow, okay fans of the show? I know I probably should be watching that.)
GORDON-LEVITT producing ‘SANDMAN’ MOVIE. May STAR & DIRECT.
It’s JGL’s world, we are just living in it. Which given his track record is completely okay by me. Also, scribble me down as excited about the Sandman movie now that I know JGL’s probably going to end up starring in it, as well as directing it, producing it, and all that other happy horse shit. My excitement is in exact inverse proportion to how much Snyder and Goyer are involved with this bad boy. So yeah, I’m throbbing more by the minute.
MIRACLEMAN returning in 2014. GAIMAN FINALLY FINISHING HIS RUN.
Well, shoot. I had completely forgotten that Marvel bought Miracleman. Can’t blame myself, since pretty much nothing has happened since they made purchase. However, that shit ends up! Or…in a couple of months.The Company That Loves The Word NOW! is going to begin reprinting the classic tales starting in 2014. After they finish the long-awaited game of catch-up, things get a bit crazier. Neil Gaiman is going to finally get to conclude his arc which has been sitting around for a hot minute.
