I was reading dream hunters, and in it neil says Neverwhere is going to be a movie, a full length movie, not the tv series, was wondering what ever happened with this? thatd rock.

)I think it's still moving onwards, it's going to be with the henderson workshop.

internet news seems rather thing (with lots of pop-ups

When did he say this? They said the same thing about Good Omens but it was dropped ::cries::

it was in the biography of an old comic, years old. The Dream Hunters was the name of the book, i found it not long ago(about 2 days before i asked this question).

At the San Diego comicon, at the Henson panel, during Q&A, they mentioned Neverwhere. They've had the rights for a long time, they think they finally have it going, but if this latest attempt doesn't work, they will let the rights go so someone else can finally get it out

cool, as long as it comes out good.

speaking of neverwhere in my smoke and mirrors book it has a thing advertising how to buy the books that were available at the time, neverwhere being one of em. next to each book it has (pb) or (hc), obvously paperback and hardcover, but neverwhere has (mm). what the fuck is that?

mm=mass market. The advertisement is calling trade size paperback, trade size being the larger, $13 paperbacks, and calling what I call pocket paperbacks, grocerystore checkout aisle size, mass market

And yes, sometimes both paperback versions are available at the same time

thanks, that just threw me for a loop. I couldnt for the life of me figure out what (mm) was.

I thought about calling the phone number and asking, but i work at a call center and get the dumbest callers, so i felt stupid wanting to call.

Ah, Im just waiting for my boyfriend to finish the book, then were gonna start off on the Tv series. A long anticipated moment indeed, I have to keep myself from not forcing my BF to read till his eyes bleed..
So, without spoilers, are the series any good?

The TV series has been discussed here many times. The opinions can go either way - a large percentage like it, several others can't watch it because of the nature of BBC miniseries. The budget does make the Great Beast of London a little questionable, but personally, I'm a big fan of the series.
There's currently a comic book adaptation being produced as well, but so for no one here has spoken very well of it

by the by, your handle is very similar to a well known poster here from Chile, you might consider altering it so you two don't get mixed up

Thanks for the reply, but I couldnt quite catch that last bit. My handle? as in my nick or picture? probaly just be reading you wrong but

handle, as in, the name Melancholia. We have a Melancolía which is just bound to get confusing for some folk. Your call though

Oh I see.. Ill try to do something about that..

'Dewi and Clive went to look at boar farms for the Beast...and they came back, and said that boars have all been bred with pigs and are fuzzy and sweet and look like they'd do anything for a cream bun. "But we found a really scary cow!"'

NG, on the commentary track. The man owes me a keyboard now.

My co-worker was supposed to bring the film DVD in today for me to view, but he forgot. Neverwhere was the first Gaiman work I read and I love it. My beau introduced me to the World of Gaiman.

I wish i could get ahold of that series! i was a Lenny Henry fan from way back before i even knew about gaiman, and i'm so glad i wasn't drinking beverages at the time of reading this, or i too may have lost a keyboard

Well, it's available on DVD - region 0 (playable on any player) DVD, as Neil mentions frequently on his blog. (Do a search, and you'll find things like "This is definitely one for the next round of Frequently Asked Questions: whatever it says on the Amazon.com site, the US DVD of Neverwhere <snip> [is] Region Zero. As far as I know, it plays everywhere.")

I'd wager it's probably all over things like <snip> and the like as well...

That way you can DL it... check it out, and if you like it, go out and buy it!

:-)
gmzoe: sorry, Neil's official site is not going to assist people downloading pirate copies of his stuff
