One of the great unsung pieces of Jim Henson’s long and wonderful legacy is The Storyteller, a live-action series from 1987 blending the magic of the Muppets with lore and legends from around the world. The story goes that Henson based the series off daughter Lisa Henson’s studies of myths and folktales, resulting in a […]

First and foremost- YES, DUNCAN JONES, YES. This is one of the best ideas ever, and oddly enough one that >this< writer was literally talking about last night while explaining to their offspring about how David Bowie’s rich discography would make the PERFECT prompt for shortform animation projects. Secondly,  here’s what we’re talking about- If @neilhimself […]

A television adaptation of Mervyn Peake’s “Gormenghast” is coming, with some pretty impressive names attached. Writer/producer/director Akiva Goldsman, writer/producer Toby Whithouse, and Neil Gaiman are all on board to bring the fantasy epic to Fremantle. The trio sat down with Deadline to chat about their first memories of reading “Gormenghast”, adapting it for tv rather than film, and how […]

An overall television deal has been reached between Neil Gaiman and Amazon Studios it was announced late last night during a UK Amazon press conference.  While no details (price point, possible time-line) are readily available on the deal yet, we do know that Gaiman will exclusively work with Amazon Studios on the creation of television series which will […]

How To Talk To Girls At Parties is a film I’ve personally been waiting for since it was announced. While not the biggest Neil Gaiman fan, this is probably my favorite of his short stories. Added in with one of my personal heroes in the director’s chair with the most perfect sensibilities for the project, […]

I’m very lucky to live (and work) in San Francisco, CA. The city, with more in common with Ancient Rome than perhaps most modern cities (built on seven hills, cultural and political hotbed, bathhouses, etc.), knows how to deliver a film festival. 2018’s San Francisco International Film Festival theme just happens to be diversity and […]

Remember how in November American Gods lost their showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller and it looked real bad for season 2 of the STARZ series? After much debate and gnashing of teeth and such, it looks like the series has some direction for their second season. Neil Gaiman, the author and creative force behind the original source material […]

Fans of author Neil Gaiman are in for another treat this year with a film adaptation of his short story, “How To Talk To Girls At Parties”.  Most folks are excited for this film because of the source material, or the fabulous all-star cast including Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson, and Alex Sharp. But myself?  I’m more excited for the […]

Submitted for your consideration by Bleeding Cool contributor Ray Flook: Don’t you hate it when your “dead” ex-wife surprises you in your motel room after you’ve spent an exhausting day making snow with your mind? I know I do…but how exactly did we get here? Ahh…glad you asked! Because with Git Gone, we get to see […]

Submitted for your consideration by Bleeding Cool contributor, Ray Flook his thoughts on the latest episode of American Gods. So by the end of last week’s episode, The Secret of Spoon, Shadow was facing a long-yet-not-quite-long-enough night of introspective contemplation…that included trying to figure-out how to keep his noggin away from the business end of Czernobog’s big-ass hammer.
