'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
New Line Cinema has picked up feature rights to Neil Gaiman's graphic novel "Death: The High Cost of Living". According to Variety, Gaiman is in talks to make his directorial debut on the film.
hmmm.
On one hand, Yay Neil!
On the other hand, I can't think of ANY actress who could play Didi.
Is this old news?
Ooh. I saw a mention in EW a while back, but I don't know how official it was. I hear the project's been attached to people forever, so who knows if this will go to fruition. But dude! Directed by Aronofsky! Written by Solid Snake!

I seriously hope it doesn't. The last thing the comic-book adaptation genre needs is another botched Moore project.

If anyone would be able to cast her, though, it would be Neil.

Halle Berry?

I didn't hate League that much (though I haven't read the comic), but Watchmen at least has both a better writer and director attached, which bodes well.

Wow. I can hear the various Buffista heads exploding in unison.

See, if you'd read the comic, you'd have been in foaming-at-mouth fury like I was.
Looking at his resume on IMDB, all of Hayter's writing credits are from projects with at least 4 writers. Has he written anything on his own that I might know?
And Aronofsky...I don't know. I like him, but I don't think he's right for this material.
And even if those two are good, and treat the material with the respect it deserves, there's no way to make Watchmen a 2-hour movie without losing a ton. It's just too packed with detail. Half the plot will have to go.
Oddly enough, Mick LaSalle, the SF Chronicle movie guy, liked Catwoman. Huh.
Yeah, but he's a total idiot when it comes to pretty women. Also, he didn't like The Bourne Supremacy.
