American Gods is being turned into a TV Show by Starz. Sandman has been in development hell forever, might someday be a movie or TV show. Fox is supposed to be working on a Lucifer show, but given the way Constantine bombed I’m betting they dump it. As a shared universe the rights on Thieves World are just way too complicated, and get more complicated every time one of the writers dies.
AG was bounced from HBO to STARZ. Still no release date and no cast listing. AG should be at most a mini-series rather than just a full movie or an expansion out into a full multi-year series.
Sandman should have been easy. The graphic novels make almost perfect story boards ala Miller’s 300.
As for TW... I had someone like Stoya in mind to play Ischade and Michael Chiklis to play One-Thumb. Oh well, it’s still a cool idea... :-)
