Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Citing an anonymous source, the site reported that Gaiman discussed the movie with Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro a couple of weeks back.
At the Fragile Things booksigning last year, Gaiman said del Toro was probably going to produce it.

So, best case/worst case scenario on who plays Death?
Honestly, I can't think of WHO I'd cast. That's probably the gronk talking as much as anything.
And this -
has snagged the interest of a famous young actress who will be named soon- makes me nervous as I can't think of a current "famous young actress" who'd be appropriate. I figure if Neil's involved directly it won't be a full on casting disaster, but does he have any unfortunate actress crushes?

Thora Birch. Christini Ricci.
I'm going to be the naysayer here. After Mirrormask and Hellboy, neither of which I liked at all, I'm a little dubious about either's ability to translate comics into film.

That's one of those classic married-punk-actuary-secretly-hooks-up-with-young-Yalie-geek-girl-actress stories, right? If I had a nickel...

Best -- Allyson Hannigan. Or my sister.
Worst case? Uh....Renee Zellweger.

I wonder if Natalie Portman is interested.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
