[Vinco]

Hopefully the pace of the series will be much improved over the book.

Anyone else think it may be Janusz Kaminski? A genius cinematographer, but an unsuccessful director so far. 2 Oscars. I'd link you to the blog post I wrote about this if they would let me.

@zyxek its tom hanks and the hbo crew

Aaand yeah, he is talking about David Fincher.

[Johnny123456789x]

When the director of "Seven" was going to shoot AG, Gaiman wrote the script for the films (several parts).

If he's talking about him, then we can rest.

If hes talking about who i think hes talking about the director will give Neil loads of input and will make a good adaptation, seeing as they are friends.

[Skebberz]

oh my god why do I see this going horribly wrong? :( Please please Neil if you love your fans have a major part in any film or tv project otherwise it'll turn into Twilight...

[rasnac]

Come on Neil! you worked in Hollywood, you should know those "genius" directors usually make HORRİBLE adaptations;because they are "genius"es they have have a very high opinion of themselves and absolutley no respect ttoneither the source material nor the writer.

[rasnac]

@rasnac ....nor the writer's original ideas about the story. You will have zero control over the screenplay. You should not have given in, unless they make you an executive producer and/or let you write the screenplay.

[DigitalDendrite]

Please tell me they'll have Neil either directly write the screenplay, or at least have a major helping hand in this...

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@DigitalDendrite he is. He said he wanted to change some things to surprise people who already read the book
