Wow! First there was news of G.R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire book series being picked up and produced by HBO [starting with Game of Thrones. Then there was news of NBC producing, for both television and feature films, Stephen King's Gunslinger series. Now... HBO Prepping "American Gods" ... Gods follows former convict Shadow, who partners up with con-man Mr. Wednesday and finds himself embroiled in a battle between the classic mythological Gods and creatures who have fallen out of favor, and the "new" American gods based on greed, technology and celebrity to whom people's attention has shifted.
The project comes from Tom Hanks' Playtone Company, which recently wrapped up the final season of Big Love. While famed cinematographer (and first-time writer) Robert Richardson and Neil Gaiman himself will co-write the pilot together...
