oh-my-god-it-is-not-an-entirely-original-conce pt-lets-sue-somebody.
shut up.

everything has been done before.
how well you do it is all that matters.
Gaiman can work cliches better than most anyone in storytelling.

but, i hope del Toro takes a more active, almost “directorish,” role in producing the movie for D:tHCoL. he has probably the best sense of pacing in the film industry.

the premise of the story sounds eerily like Michael Moorcock’s eternal champion(s).

Dave3: I definitely second that.
West: I don’t know which “comics” you were reading, but in my humble opinion, Sandman is truly beyond any other creation in that medium (the graphic novel) that I’ve ever come across.

Not a particularly original idea…reminds me of the Crisis on Infinite Earths story line. I also remember a Dexter’s Lab movie that used this idea as well.

@West

Well, I’m not going to say you’re the only one who thinks he’s boring, mostly because I don’t know *everyone*. But I will say this, you’re the first person I’ve ever heard say that. Personally, I find him to be one of the most stimulating and creative writers to have *ever* existed, but that’s just my opinion.

Also, what movie were you watching?

hi,
i just watched a neil gaiman based film on hbo several days ago and….am i the only one who thinks he is a bit boring?
too much visuals…too little story.
even his books that cost $30-$50 are more like comics than stories…
is this another case of “the emperor’s new clothes” syndrome?

I really hope that Gaiman finds an unknown actor to play Didi/Death (and, frankly, any of the rest of the Endless as well). I think that it would kind of ruin the concept of these higher beings being apart from the rest of humanity if you were to look at the actor playing the role and have seen her in pretty much anything at all.

I love how movie producers will skip over a project and then as soon as it takes off somewhere else, they jump on it and go changing stuff.
