Neil Jordan's adaptation of The Graveyard Book is up in the air, according to author Neil Gaiman:
“It was all put together over at Miramax Films. The people there had a long, great relationship with Neil Jordan and it was all set up and ready to go, and then Miramax was more or less erased from existence,” Gaiman said. “It became a filing cabinet in somebody’s desk, more or less.... But it looks like almost all the pieces are on the table again. They have a studio, they have a distributor and they are putting stuff together and I’m not allowed to say anything else.”
Prolific director Michael Winterbottom (Road to Guantanamo, A Mighty Heart) will revisit the troubled Middle East in his next movie, Promised Land, which recounts the lead up to the 1948 partition of Palestine and the subsequent creation of the state of Israel. Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) will star as a British officer hunting down the extremist Jewish factions. Winterbottom's latest film is the Jim Thompson adaptation, The Killer Inside Me, starring Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba. (Variety)
Alexander Skarsgaard talked to Michael Ausielle about Eric's storyline in season 3 of True Blood, currently in production:
“I’d say it’s about revenge,” he told me. “He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what that’s all about. He’s trying to figure out what’s different about her. He’s intrigued by that. And in addition to that, there’s something that happened a thousand years ago that he’s still carrying in his heart. All I’ll say is he’s trying to avenge someone."
