Squee! There's going to be a "Death" movie!!

[mitchy]

Found buried in an article here,

Gaiman is the Hugo and Nebula-Award winning author of such novels as "American Gods" and "Coraline," and is best known as the creator of DC Comics' legendary "Sandman". He wrote the English Language Script for the Miyazaki film Princess Mononoke. His first feature, MirrorMask, directed by Dave McKean, premieres at the Sundance Film Festival. His short film A Short Film About John Bolton was just released on DVD. Projects in development based on work by Gaiman include Coraline, which Henry Selick is writing and directing, and Stardust, with director Matthew Vaughn. Gaiman is writing and will be directing Death and Me, based on his DC Comics graphic novel "Death: The High Cost of Living" for New Line Cinema.

Squeal!!

You don't have the watch the film...

True. One way to preserve the mystery. I can think of lots of comic book adaptations that fans have politely ignored. Judge Dredd anyone?

Thank you. Gosh I would never thought of that by myself. [/sarcasm]

I'm not suggesting it should be banned or anything. mitchy wrote a post about how she was excited about the idea of the new film and I commented with reasons why I wasn't.

I shall decide whether to watch the film when and if it ever gets made and I know more about it.

It's just you sound like you don't want them to even try ("I still would rather it stayed in the comic books rather than on the screen.") when I don't see how your enjoyment of the paper version can be spoiled no matter what the celluloid version turns out.

I wasn't offering literal practical advice...
