Film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens could still happen
Last week Joseph McCabe of FEARnet.com caught up with Terry Gilliam and the filmmaking Python told him that his long-in-development adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s dark fantasy novel Good Omens isn’t dead in the water yet. Apparently, it’s just resting.
“It’s still sitting out there. It needs a lot of money though. It’s a very different story. Admittedly, there’s an angel and the Devil, but it’s very different. And it’s better to find somebody who wants to take charge of that project. One of the things is that and another project got mired in costs. And now it’s very hard to get those things moving, because they’ve got a price tag on them before you even begin now. So one day, if somebody is interested, it’s waiting.” (FEARnet.com)
Book synopsis
Taking a cynical look at the horror genre, this book features Crowley and Aziraphale, two friends who attempt to prevent the prophesised Armageddon. When the Antichrist is born they divert him from his original home at the American Embassy to Tadfield, where he grows into an unkempt individual.
