Neil Gaiman does the story and Dave McKean does the cool, twisted visuals. (the same team that did Sandman)

Trailer here (//"http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/mirrormask.html") and video clips plus an alternate trailer :here (//"http://www.bulletsofautumn.com/mckean-art/mirrormask.html").

Your mention of Neil Gaiman instantly got my interest there... I'll check it out.

Interesting. Looks very different from anything I've seen so far.

What IS it? Movie? Game?

Movie. Only playing in the US right now. Seems really interesting, though I'll probably wait for it to hit theatres rather than ruining the experience by watching it on a dirty 17" monitor.

Heh, I'll be lucky if it gets any big screen time at all here...

Incidentally, does anyone else think that Good Omens would make an unspeakably cool film? Alan Rickman as Crowley... :cool:

If I had my digital camera, I'd take a picture of myself (re)reading Good Omens with this thread open, because that's what I was just doing.

As for MirrorMask...well, I hope they have plans to release it overseas, even if its just in arthouse cinemas. From what I know, it's just been recently released even in the US, so probably in a few months it will be making the rounds over the pond.

So they finally got around to releasing the movie? I've seen the book about making it a few times in bookstores, but I hadn't realized the release was yet.

EDIT: Hmm.... Very limited release, and I'm not quite willing to walk ten miles to see it. I guess Neverwhere will have to tide me over unless they decide to go for a wider release.

I agree but seeing as how Diskworld was almost universally ignored when converted to cartoon I doubt many are willing to try it.

That might be because the cartoon sucked like Daikatana.
