If they stick with the book then it's going to be a miniseries ala "band of Brothers" or "John Adams".<br />What may be more interesting is if they take the idea and run with it - keeping the central plot but fleshing it out so with more "american gods" featuring. Each episode/arc could be featuring different gods along the roadtrip.red snownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-73336751904737438842011-04-15T19:32:02.985+00:002011-04-15T19:32:02.985+00:00How about "The Way of Kings" next? :)How about "The Way of Kings" next? :)Fantasy Folderhttp://www.fantasyfolder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-14598242234097319312011-04-15T12:34:49.663+00:002011-04-15T12:34:49.663+00:00Yeah, but how would they adapt The Sandman series?...Yeah, but how would they adapt The Sandman series? Choose a particular ongoing arc and then fill in certain episodes with one-offs? I have the whole bloody series downstairs and it still fills me with a sort of glorious confusion, that's fine for comics I think, but might be a bit much for a TV series.<br /><br />On the other hand I quite like the idea of an American Gods series, I enjoyed the book, though I'd love a short webisode adaptation of his Study in Emerald short story. Lovecraftian inspired Sherlock Holmes fun, that I'd love to see.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671754452498055684noreply@blogger.com
