Rumors Swirl Around the Film Version of Neverwhere
Neil Gaiman addresses reports that the film version of Neverwhere will be directed by David Slade.
[I]t is a bit early I'm afraid.
It's my fault; I'd mentioned to the journalist from MTV, after the filmed interview was over, that Lisa Henson and I would be seeing David Slade, who loves Neverwhere, at Comic-Con, but I'd assumed that bit of the conversation was off-the-record. And we did see him, and he's enthusiastic, and so are we, but nothing's set and signed yet, so it isn't news. (And this will, I suppose, remind me to say less when the cameras aren't rolling.)
So, nothing's been finalized, it's all just a rumor so far. David Slade directed 30 Days of Night and Hard Candy. We do hope that Neil writes the script, regardless of who is directing.
