Roger Avary.......oh, man! I can't wait!

I envy you, people in US & UK. You can see it in November, but I have to wait until next March!

Beowulf... great story, but this trailer seems confused as to the direction of the movie. Nice visuals. Maybe the full-length film is better than the two-minute splice of images. Have you read John Gardner's Grendel?

Anything with Neil Gaiman touch is automatically gold. I can't wait until Stardust comes out.

over and out

No, I haven't read "Grendel", but I read "Beowulf" when I was junior high student. My schoolteacher recommended it to me. Yes, it was a bit difficult but great story.

It's hard to to believe that is all CGI. I am really looking forward to watching this movie, and have similar faith in Neil Gaiman that any story he's been involved in is gonna be pretty good.

I keep hearing that Neil Gailman is wonderful, but no one ever mentions anyting that is wonderful. I looked him up it turns out that the only Gaiman work I am personally familiar with issue #9 of Spawn.

Yes. One of the best last lines ever.

His Sandman comic is right behind The Adversary Cycle on my list of all-time favorites. I've liked all his novels in this order Anansi Boys, Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods and Coraline. His two kids books, The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish and The Wolves in the Walls are winners. His two short story collections, Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things contain some absolutely fantastic stories. In addition to Sandman, most of his work in the graphic format is wonderful. I also liked the BBC version of Neverwhere and I loved the film Mirrormask that he wrote. He also did the english speaking version of Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke. Plus he seems like an amiable bloke.

I will go out on a limb and say that if enjoy fantasy at all, then you will definitely like Gaiman. His sense of imagination is unparalled in my experience.

I put Sandman on my "wish list" at Amazon.com, and I'll probably order that after my other stuff arrives this week. As for the other stuff, I've never been that big a fan of fantasy and maybe that is why I am unfamiliar with his work. In Wikipedia, when they described Spawn #9, though, I remembered that issue pretty clearly. Spawn was a favorite of mine when it first came out, then I sort of lost interest.

Oh?! I didn't know Neil Gaiman wrote Spawn. Thanks for info, Auskar. I'll check it out.
