In the following video, Neil Gaiman discusses his and co-author Terry Pratchett's comedy of apocalyptic proportions, Good Omens, potentially receiving a film adaptation developed by writer/director Terry Gilliam of Monty Python. While Gaiman confirms neither so treat this as a rumor, what he doesn't say suggests that something is in the works. Gaiman also talks of Terry Pratchett's unfortunate diagnoses of early onset Alzheimer's disease and his desire to develop an adaptation in time for Pratchett to see.



According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

I hope it's true. Pratchett deserves a good (not TV) adaptation.

A Good Omens movie would be guaranteed big box office once the Catholic League boycotts it. Worked for Dogma, Last Temptation, even Harry Potter. In fact, bring in the Potter heads by casting Alan Rickman as Crowley. Or Cumberbatch. Everybody loves Cumberbatch.
