New Line Cinema got the rights to make a movie of Neil Gaiman's Death: the High Cost of Living graphic novel, spun off from his Sandman comic series. Gaiman may make his directorial debut on the film after writing the script. The working title is Death's Day.
"The story involves a teenager named Sexton who's been contemplating suicide. He is
rescued by a mysterious teenager who claims she is Death herself, spending one day
every 100 years on earth to learn the value of the lives she takes," according to Variety.
"The film takes place over 24 hours as Sexton learns to love life by spending a day with Death," the trade said.
