GOOD OMENS coming to television
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's co-written 1990 novel, Good Omens, is coming to television. Gavin Scott and ex-Monty Python member Terry Jones are in talks to adapt the script (though oddly Jones suggests it is for a movie version). At the SFX Weekender event Pratchett said that the current proposal is a four-episode mini-series, but did not say what television network was involved.

About time this got off the ground. Hopefully a US station picks it up and I don't have to wait for the DVDs. This could be what Neil and Terry were toasting to months ago.
ReplyDeleteCoolio. I'm just about to read that book. Not that into Pratchett, nut I'm a huge Gaiman fan.
