This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Several of his works have been optioned or greenlighted for film adaptation, most notably Stardust, which is currently in post-production and will star Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes.
Do...do...do they mean that??? OH MY GOD
That...that's a lovely cast. It might work... I don't wanna get my hopes up but but...
*chokes on a potato chip*
What the hell? Why has nobody told me about this? And it's going to be out this summer? This should prove interesting...
In 2007 it was announced on his website that after ten years in development the feature version of Death: The High Cost of Living, Gaiman's masterwork, would finally start filming with a screenplay by Gaiman that he would direct for Warner Independent. Don Murphy and Susan Montford will produce while Guillermo del Toro* will executive produce.
Well, this has bounced back and forth for quite some time, so I don't hold my breath until they actually start shooting.
Incidentally, concerning del Toro, I think that I asked this on this thread before, but no-one had an answer to me, then: The British Pan's Labyrinth site claimed, that Guillermo del Toro is going to shoot H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness some time after he's done with Hellboy 2. However, neither Wikipedia or IMDB seem to support this. Is there any flesh behind this delightful rumour, at all? I'd be eternally grateful if someone knows something about this.

I was poking around and apparently Joel Schumacher has expressed interest in directing a movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
I mean, Ruka is as likely to direct it as Joel is, but still that's a completely disturbing thought.
Edit:
HOLY SHIT
I saw it in a meican site and thought it was a joke!!! hell fucking no!!

Schumacher needs to stay away from Sandman. In any form. However, I fully approve of del Toro directing High Cost. Oh boy, that comic made me bawl like a two year old with a scraped knee.

Schumacher needs to stay away from any comic adaptation!! no matter how many bad adaptations come it will be hard to forget about the horror made in batman! I would hate to see sandman in the risk of topping that!!

Hmm...some of my favorite movies. The Neverending Story is one, because the Childlike Empress is fantastic.
I have really fond memories about that movie

I just got back from seeing Ghost Rider. It's a very silly movie, but still very enjoyable. There's a lot of overacting, but in the giggly way as opposed to the cringing way. And I swear they purposefiully put Eva Mendes in an outfit that made me go "boobs" every time she entered a scene. The special effects rocked, as they should have, and DAMN is Nicholas Cage suddenly very ripped.
I got to see this on a bargain matinee, but I'd still probably pay full price for it if you want a fun action flcik withcool special effects, eye candy and giggles. What made my day, though, was seeing a teaser for Resident Evil: Exctinction. I'm such a RE fangirl.

The last preview that rocked my socks off was 300. OH BOY I WANT TO SEE IT. I actually spent a bunch of time yapping about it with one of my customers at work here, and I shouldn't be doing that.

STARDUST?? HOLY CRAP.
I am SOOOOO glad my friend made me start reading Neil Gaiman this month or else I would have had NO idea!! I just finished Stardust like last week!
*runs around the room freaking out from the awesomeness*
Oh and yes 300 =

the effects on ghost rider were great but it lacked many things to me, is this kind of movies you just see once. And I got a preview of 300 weee!!!

I'd like to see Zodiac when it comes out - I've actually done a decent amount of outside reading on that case before, so I got a little bit excited when I saw the preview. I suspect my want to see it, though, really stems from wanting to see how accurate is - although I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll give the case a solution in the film, which would really suck - really the only reason the case is so intriguing is that they never actually caught the culprit.
God, I still haven't seen Letters from Iwo Jima...

Whatever you do, do NOT see Primeval. It's about a freaking CROCODILE. It really doesn't help that the trailers mention Jack The Ripper and The Zodiac Killer. I was totally lead on, and let down.

I hear the dude who directed is doing Watchmen next. That movie better not suck. If it does I will pray and pray and PRAY that Watchmen never gets past development phase
Speaking of comic book adaptations, where's my goddamn Transmetropolitan movie? ;__;

It's about time, although that's total bullshit, that he got his Oscar on a year where there wasn't really another serious contender. They just need to get him a retroactive Oscar for Raging Bull and be done with it. I mean really.
As for Pan's Labyrinth, it shoulda got best foreign film. At least it took a lot of the art-related ones, including cinematography, which it totally deserved.
Actually I didn't watch the Oscars, I kinda forgot they were on. Usually I watch it on and off, mostly to bitch or praise the suits.
