    I just found out the other day that Neil Gaiman's American Gods is going to be made into a show, on HBO nonetheless.

    There is currently little to be said, but more information will be trickling in over the next few months, so I thought I'd throw up this thread now.

    What we know:

    They are planning on there being six seasons.
    The first two seasons will consist of the book, and the latter ones will cover the upcoming sequel. (which will have more of a focus on the New Gods)
    Each season will have ten to twelve episodes, each an hour long.
    Each episode will have $3-4 million allotted to it. (yay special effects)
    It could air as soon as late this year.

    (sauce)
    (sauce 2)

    Any thoughts on casting?

    Will there be that scene where a hooker eats a man with her vagina?

    Robert Carlisle for Wednesday (DO IT, HBO)

    Maybe Djimon Hounsou as Anansi.


    I dunno... some generic dude for Shadow? I mean really... who actually cares about Shadow?

    Man this is exciting. Shadow is far from exciting though, which means that casting him will be critical. I didn't even know there was a sequel in the works.

    Colour me cautiously optimistic.

    Oooooh cool, Shadow will be difficult, I used to almost forget about him when reading the book. It will be difficult to make him engaging on TV, he's basically the quiet bodyguard in a movie, but made into the main character, if they can capture that the characterization may ring true.

    Mr. Key needs a particularly good guy for the flashbacks. Some sort of big tough prison guy, in contrast to the typical thin pretty-boy smart prisoner.

    Why would you watch that?

    On topic: Meh, feels like it could go either way.

    Because it was the mid-90s and my local video shop only had three anime videos: Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Wicked City.
