Dream teams. They pop up everywhere. But imagine the most appropriate person to team up with Neil Gaiman on Death, and if you're hitting the nail right on the head, you're probably salivating at the thought of GUILLERMO DEL TORO and GAIMAN teaming up on Death and the Cost of Living, which Gaiman will direct himself. Del Toro will be executive producer.
Oh boy!
Ain't it cool had the news:
"Howdy - I don't know if this qualifies as a scoop (I couldn't find it on the site), but last night Neil Gaiman caught us all up on all his movie news. He was doing a conversation with John Hodgman (AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE and Comedy Central), at F.I.T. and only about 500 people got in.
Stardust — he hasn't seen the first cut yet, he was supposed to see it Tuesday but they weren't ready - he loves Claire Danes and says it is very faithful so far.
Coraline — being done in stop-motion by the team that did Nightmare Before Christmas - but, big news that Neil seemed very upset about - it seems TERI HATCHER is going to voice Coraline's mom. Ugh.
Death the High Cost of Living — the rights are owned by Warner Bros. under the DC comics deal, so they have to do it under one of the Warner houses...New Line had given them a yellow light, but then backed off. Neil has written the script himself, and is insisting on directing it himself ("If anyone is going to screw this up, I want it to be me." He said) - but he was very excited about it moving forward soon because GUILLERMO DEL TORO has signed on to Executive Produce! Heaven to us fans, I think - If Neil needs a perfect wing to be under while he gets this done the way he wants to, Del Toro is it! Very exciting news. Also, Neil says there is a ton more in the script that he had always wanted to do but didn't have room in the comic — Buddhist monks running around, and the like."
Should be awesome!
keep it futile!
