More on "Good Omens" the Movie and Coraline

Posted by Hemos on from the go-and-purchase dept.

In a recent e-mail exchange I had with Neil Gaiman he confirmed that Terry Gilliam is the director for the adapation of Good Omens to the screen. On a side note, Gaiman has been working on Coraline and will be doing a signing of the book in the Barnes and Noble in Union Square, NYC on Thursday the 11th. That's today. Update: 07/11 13:15 GMT by CT : I just wanted to say 'Curse Your Terry Gilliam'! Ever since I read Good Omens, I wished I was a film director just so I could direct that book. I guess Terry will do a good job too ;)

  2. Humor in Good Omens by dpilot · · Score: 3, Funny

    I pushed the Good Omens on my son last year, and in conversations realized something...

    Much of the humor is rooted in the 70's. He enjoyed the book, and much of the humor is not rooted in the 70's. But he wasn't culturally equipped to enjoy it as much as I did.

    OTOH, he did get into Bohemian Rhapsody after that.

    "Mort isn't fashionable UK movie material--there's no part in it for Hugh or Emma"

    Nonsense. Hugh would play Death and Emma would play Albert.

    I thought you were refering to a forth part to "The Omen" series...

    If they want a short title for the film they could try: "Apocalypse? Now?"
