You don't trust Gaiman to direct his own work in a way that will preserve the magic?

Sorry, managed not to read the bit in bold where you say he's going to be directing! *grin* I'm more hopeful that it won't be atrociously bad, although not entirely positive: Gaiman doesn't have the clout as a director to necesarily be able to make the film he wants to make.

I still would rather it stayed in the comic books rather than on the screen.

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. [livejournal.com profile] 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...
