In an exclusive interview with Digitalspy, Neil Gaiman revealed that a film adaptation of his book American Gods is in the works.

Gaiman revealed to Digitalspy also that a director "who has many, many Oscars" is already on board the project.

"I'm going to be having a meeting in LA with the people that the film rights have been sold to," he confirmed. "I'm going to be... talking to them, find out where they're going and if there's any way that I can help."

Gaiman described the secretive director attached to the film as "a genius".
"He fell in love with this [novel] about six or seven years ago and has not given up," explained the writer.

American Gods takes place in a world in which gods and mythological creatures all exist.
Everybody wants a Sandman series, even Lucifer would be amazing but this is also prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay, pretty good!

If he has hope in the director then hopefully that is a good sign loved the book it is in some ways a beginning middle end story so a movie adaptation is not impossible.

Damn, Gaiman is going to be busy.If it ever comes about, he's working on the Sandman series in some capacity, he's working on the American Gods movie and a couple a weeks ago he was hired to write a 3 film adaptation of Journey To the West.

I don't see how anybody could make a satisfying movie out of American Gods, but I look forward to seeing them try. Let the fancasting begin!

If Brian Cox doesn't play Wednesday I'll be very disappointed.
