Video Interview from Dragoncon

If you have access to RealPlayer or Windows Media Player, you should be able to access this Neil interview from the just past DragonCon, courtesy eHobbies (and Nextplanetover). There was also another video interview on the site, but I have no idea where or when it’s from.

Neverwhere movie info updated at Corona Coming Attractions

Corona’s Neverwhere page was updated with the following tidbit from CONvergence.
July 14, 2000… Ah, yes, the anonymous con-goer. We know him well. And he sends us stuff. Like…this: “Neil Gaiman was in Minneapolis this weekend at a convention, and he was (once again) asked about the status of Neverwhere. He said that Andrew Birkin (of the ‘Lost Boys’ miniseries and the movie The Messenger) is currently working on the script, and once it has reached a point that The Powers That Be are happy with, it will be sent to him (Neil) for his opinion. Apparently, it had gotten to the point where Neil felt like he would never stop working on Neverwhere, what with the BBC series, the novel, the American version of the novel, and then multiple scripts.” [The Anonymous Con-Goer has spoken.]

And speaking of CONvergence

Fellow Travellers

Charles Vess has updated his website with info about Neil and Miracle Pictures meeting about the “Land of Laughs” project; he also put up scans of the artwork he did for it.

Speaking of Jonathan Carroll, Joe del Tufo posted information to alt.fan.neil-gaiman about a hardcover novella he has written called The Heidelberg Cylinder; the art on the cover is by Dave McKean. For more information, go to http://www.jonathancarroll.com

And on a sadder note, Eve found this one:

I found this on the Locus site. It’s by Gene Wolfe for a friend of his named Joe Mayhew. It looks like he was a friend of Neil’s as well. http://www.locusmag.com/2000/Issues/07/WolfeOnMayhew.html
