Fox orders pilot for Lucifer

Fox has officially ordered a pilot commitment based on Lucifer, a character in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comics. The character is based on the fallen angel, Lucifer, and he did later spawn into his own comic series.

Total Recall director Len Wiseman is on board to direct and Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. Reports so far insist that the show will focus on the ruler of Hell as he becomes bored of his post and resigns his position. He rises into Los Angeles where he assists the LAPD in capturing and torturing criminals. Lucifer will join a lineup of two more similar adaptations (Sleepy Hollow and Gotham).

[Random] Neil Gaiman returning to Marvel

Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book, American Gods) is returning to Marvel Comics to co-write 5 issues of Guardians of the Galaxy. Gaiman and Todd McFarlane's character Angela is set to join the Guardians for these five issues. Gaiman is co-writing these issues with Brian Bendis, a quite famous writer/artist for Marvel Comics, Image Comics, and Calber Comics.

There is no word on whether Gaiman will continue after the five issues. Angela originally appeared in Spawn #9 and could very well continue in the Marvel Universe.

Henry Selick to direct The Graveyard Book

Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline) has been brought on by Disney to direct the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. There is no release date set but this is the second pairing of Gaiman and Selick with the first being Coraline in 2009.

I personally love Neil Gaiman and I absolutely love The Graveyard Book. I suddenly want to read it again.
