All I can say about the following is YAHOOO!


Gilliam Helming 'Omens'
Neil Gaiman is confirming recent rumors that Terry Gilliam
(Brazil) will be helming the big screen version of his book
Good Omens co-authored with Terry Pratchett. While
talking to the Sci Fi cable channel's website, Gaiman also
revealed that Gilliam will write the film's script with Tony
Grisoni (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). Peter and
Marc Samuelson (Arlington Road) with Chuck Roven will
produce.

When asked how involved he would be with the film, Gaiman
told the site, "Terry Pratchett and I have elected not to get
involved--we both got our fingers burned some years ago
trying to write a Good Omens movie for Sovereign Pictures,
for producers who bought Good Omens and then
immediately began trying to turn it into something else. We
decided that this time around we would give the book to
people who seemed to understand it and let them make the
film."

To say the least, Gaiman sounds happy about the deal,
saying, "We turned down a lot of producers before the
Samuelsons came along, and they impressed us by
understanding what the book was about (and not just
understanding what happened in it and the meaning of
several of the longer words)... I think Terry Gilliam is the
perfect director for Good Omens in every way, and I've been
an enormous fan of his since Jabberwocky."
