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.
My secret girlfriend, Natalie Portman.
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...
So, best case/worst case scenario on who plays Death?
Best -- Allyson Hannigan. Or my sister.
Worst case? Uh....Renee Zellweger.
So, best case/worst case scenario on who plays Death?
I wonder if Natalie Portman is interested.

Worst case: Andie MacDowell, Nicole Kidman, Olympia Dukakis
