Gaiman Movies
I just found out, via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
officialgaiman and IMDB's entry on Neil Gaiman, about a few more movies to watch for.
Mirrormask (January 2005) - Gaiman wrote this fantasy about "a 15 year old girl in a family of circus entertainers, who often wishes she could run off and join real life." Apparently it's supposed to be in the spirit of Labyrinth. "That was like Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast... on acid... for kids..."
Books Of Magic (2006?) - Based on Gaiman's comic book series of the same name. There are some surface similarities to Harry Potter, which could either help or hurt.
Death's Day (2006?) - Based on the graphic novel Death: The High Cost of Living, which in turn was a spinoff from his landmark Sandman comic book series. (And if anyone can explain to me the difference between a graphic novel and a bound comic book series, I'd be grateful.) This Death is a young goth girl. Gaiman may make his directorial debut on this. The title is tentative.
There were some other Gaiman movie projects announced, but they appear to be on hold now.
