film ick has scoop:
Later this year – if all goes well – Neil Gaiman will be directing his first feature film. It’s an adaptation of his Death: The High Cost of Living mini-series, and – of course – he’s scripted it.
This was the film he was discussing with Guillermo del Toro at the meeting a couple of weeks back, as I suspected. I’ve now had this 100% confirmed.
What more do I know? That the film will most likely shoot in late autumn, early winter, and in the UK, though the comic takes place (mainly) in the US.
LaBeouf’s involvement geos back at least two years
Young actor Shia LaBeouf, who starred in Warner Bros. Constantine, told SCI FI Wire that he’s been working with graphic novel writer Neil Gaiman to bring his Death stories to life on the big screen.
I love Neil Gaiman’s work but I don’t know if it’s a good idea to let him write the script. Mirror Mask was a beautiful movie, but the story was sooo boring.
Wow, ‘Death: The High Cost of Living’ as a film? It will have to be seen to be believed!
