And now he’s got a movie based on NEVERWHERE on the way. The story has already been a novel, BBC miniseries and comic, but now it’ll finally get a proper film treatment and 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and HARD CANDY director David Slade will make that fantasy a reality. Theatrically speaking, anyway. Apparently the Weinsteins will be behind the project.
Gaiman’s tale revolves around an average London chap who meets a homeless girl named Door. While his existence unravels and he’s hunted by mysterious assassins, he’s drawn into a parallel world filled with various historical figures, fantastical characters and random dangerous things.
