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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gaiman has stated that about 17 is his mental image of Death: Sandman FAQ.

I knew I wasn't pulling that idea out of the air!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Curse those artists who deviated from Gaiman's mental script! (Seriously, depending on who's drawing her, she looks anywhere from 16 to teetering on 30.)
Actual 17 year olds capable of playing Death? That's going to be brutally tough -- they're almost certainly going to have to go with someone older who can look youngish-ageless. Sarah Polley or Claire Danes or Natalie Portman could've maybe done it, maybe, when they were actually 17 themselves, but I'm not sure what current teenage actor has the depth and Deathiness to do it.

I totally don't have a problem with an actress who is not 17 or close to that playing Death. But I definitely think Clare Danes is too mature looking now. Also I don't know that she could have pulled off the blunt thing Death has so well.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Even though I'm not too familiar with Gaiman's Death, I nominate Ellen Page. She's young with major chops.

I'm so hopelessly skeeved out by the Marilyn Manson thing (though, oddly, I never held it against Dita) that she's kind of unwatchable to me right now.
Which is totally unfair from any rational standpoint, I fully realize. Of course, if it were a choice between ERW and Bea Arthur, I'd get over it, but I'd still be skeeved and resentful.

She is very good, though, and I think manages the older thing well. Except with the current boyfriend and the Von Teese makeover.
