Deman Member	Posted I'm just new to this board so I don't know if this has ever been discussed before. Has there ever been any talk about a movie being made? When I'm reading books, I always have a famous actor playing the charactors, e.g. Shadow - David Boreanaz Wednesday - Antony Hopkins http://www.fallofnations.com/play.asp?uid=14510

Posted Hide Post <pointing to Forum section below this one> There's a "Cast the Movie" thread in the "American Gods: Spoilers" section. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner.

Posted Hide Post I JUST read this book.... an amazing book, an amazing author. A movie about this book would be Awesome! I have never read something so powerfull and something so well wrote. A movie would be great to follow that! (sorry I didn't have an answer to your question Deman, but I had to add this -------------- And the words that flow out of your mouth are nothing more than thought. And Thought is nothing more than an opinion. And an opinion .... well, it is as stands.

So far, Neil has not mentioned AG being optioned, but he hasn't ruled it out yet either.

Posted Hide Post I'm only half way... less than half way through it, and I think it'd make a fantastic film... but of an extrordinarily epic length... There's so much that might need cut out to make a film, you might end up being disappointed. Adaptions can be upsetting. And on David Boreanaz playing Shadow, it would annoy me so much cuz I can never get him to fit any role, except from... Buffy's Angel...

Asitsays Member	Posted Hide Post I think it'd be a soild film for a 3/4 quarters of the story, then Hollywood will mess it up.

Posted Hide Post i read this book quite a while ago now but it amazed me and i have read it again twice since and i try to get all my friends to read it. as for the movie i am liking that idea a lot but not mr hopkins as mr wednesday, you would need someone far more imposing...who i have no idea. _____________________________ And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit. I spit on your 47 vegetables.

Musick Member	Posted Hide Post I think Hopkins could play Wednesday. Hanibal Lecter is pretty imposing... Im not sure id want to see a movie adaptation as it would get f#cked up somewhere along the way. I really dont think in its raw form could fit in 1 movie well, and much of the amazing imagery that is reading a book would be lost... Just my 2c eh. Closer morsel, I smell your fear and I hunger.

Delta Noringtron Member	Posted Hide Post I wasn't getting into acting skills, Although that is the most important aspect. The character should also look the part, and I though he would do wonders. Now if we could put someone else's acting skills, We'd have Shadow dead on.
