Des nouvelles de Neil Gaiman en provenance de la Comic Con ! :DEt comme ça concerne en partie le personnage de Death...
The Thursday schedule was very light. Most of the true fans and fanboys show up on that day to get in on early deals before prices go up on Friday and Saturday. The guests that fans and fanboys, and not many "civilians", drool over are usually talking on that day. Dave McKean gave a talk going over a retrospective of his art over the last 15-20 years. Neil Gaiman gave a brief talk and showed a documentary that he filmed. He has finally worked out that he will be able to write and direct the "Death: High Cost of Living" movie. He thought he should practice directing a film before dedicating a year of his life to directing Death movie; mainly so see if he actually would like directing. He created a wonderful documentary on English artist John Bolton. There are many surprises in this wonderful little short film, and I'd rather not spoil it for anyone by saying anything about it. Needless to say, Neil quite enjoyed directing and can't wait to get started on Death. His rational for sitting in the chair is "If someone is going to fuck up my creation, I'd rather it be me."
Autrement dit, il va écrire et réaliser un film sur Death !Et ce n'est pas tout :
Then came the panel all of my friends were waiting for. Lisa Henson, Jim Henson's daughter, announced that though "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth" were considered initial failures, they realize that both of those have an enormous cult following. Given this, she is proud to announce the first artistic/edgier children's film from Henson productions since 1986, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's MirrorMask!!!! They just finished principle photography the week before the Con, and now Dave will spend the next year and a half animating it. Neil wrote the film, and Dave is directing it. They showed a few stills from the film, and it looks simply magical. The story is a "through the looking glass" sort, much like labyrinth, and I am really anticipating it. I hope people will really rally around this film.
