It looks like filming for Good Omens has been cancelled. It has been struggling along for sometime now to get it into production, but it looks like it just won't happen now. Terry Gilliam is just unable to complete this at this point in his life. -- >> Stay informed about: Sad news. Good Omens will not be filmed.

As far as I've noticed, this has been the state of affairs for some time now.

>do you know something about the project that we don't. Yes. Please not that I posted a couple of days before this went up. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2004/08/q.asp" target="_blank">http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2004/08/q.asp</a> Neil Gaiman stated in an interview Well, I think it's probably a bit early to write off the Good Omens film any more than it was already. Terry Gilliam is now explicitly not, alas, going to be directing it (although it's still got a Terry Gilliam script) but the producers seem quite enthusiastic, and just put in an offer to a director whose work Terry Pratchett and I both like very much. -- > > >Terry Gilliam is just unable to complete this at this point in his life. > > > > > What an interesting sentence construction.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Good Omens filmed. Well, actually I would really like to see Guards, Guards filmed. Patrick Warburton as Captain Carrot? As for the sentence construction, unlike some people, I am not a great author.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Sad news. Good Omens will not be filmed.

I really do hope it comes off. I have (counts life-savings) four dollars twenty five cents I can put towards it. Of course, that's australian money, so it probably wouldn't buy a coffee anywhere else in the world. Incidentally, a friend of a friend of mine (always a reputable source) said there was a movie of Maskerade in the works...

There was a version that advanced to the stage of a script being written {Thom Willis?} but the AFP-movie is sadly defunct.

AFAIK, "Troll Bridge" (if/when completed) will be shown at some short-film festivals (and maybe Cannes?), but is not expected to receive general release. Since the "making of Troll Bridge" short was shown both at the Discworld Convention and at WorldCon, there's hope that the completed film will be shown at those venues. OTOH, it may still be possible to get in on the "donate X<money> toward costs and receive a DVD of whatever gets finished" deal... =Tamar<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Sad news.

It can't get general release. That's part of the deal.
