Later this year - if all goes well - Neil Gaiman will be directing his first feature film. It's an adaptation of his Death: The High Cost of Living mini-series, and - of course - he's scripted it.The writer/director discussed the project with producer Guillermo del Toro at the meeting a couple of weeks back.The film will most likely shoot in late autumn, early winter, and in the UK, though the comic takes place (mainly) in the US. Shia LaBeouf is almost certainly going to play the male lead - in the comics he was called Sexton Furnival - and Death, or Didi as she calls herself in her mortal form, has snagged the interest of one famous young actress in particular. The Death hunt is done, if the deal works out, and soon she'll be named.
