I read on Cinescape a while back that they were making it into a movie at
long last...  *crosses fingers* I can't remember the details but I think it
was in the development stages in February (development as in the script is
being written) and does any one have any details?  I've heard so many
stories about a possible movie...

I never particularlly liked Neil Gaiman.... I've read both and I just found
myself intensely loathing the style his stuff is written in and just ug, not
my thing.

Ummm....  I want to to do another author plug.  "A Wizard's Dilemma" (sp)
hit the shelves about a week and a half ago if you're a fan of Diane Duane's
wizard's series.  It's pretty good stuff :o)
