neverwhereWhat an absolutely amazing day.
Brilliant news the First:
Everybody's talking about it. You know what it is by now. Oh yes. *grins*
21 June is going to be the best day of the year. HarryPotterHarryPotterHarryPotter!! Woohooooooooo!!
They certainly waited bloody long enough to tell us, sheesh! I was about to give up on ever reading it.
Even more exciting (if you can believe it) than the release date is the incredible teaser from the book itself:
Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses.'It is time,' he said 'for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.'
Aiiii!! Is that not edge-of-your-seat suspenseful stuff?? Come on June, hurry up already! I NEED TO KNOW NOW!!! *laughs*
Actually, June is a good time to release the book, as it gives me something to obsess happily about until The Return of the King in december. *grins*
Brilliant News the Second:
Neil Gaiman news, ahoy!
1) Neil's doing a European tour in the summer! Whooot!
Yet another chance to stalk my favourite author. Bwahahaha.
And of course he'll remember me and give me a big hug and maybe a kiss on the cheek...*dreamy sigh* :D
2) Neverwhere is being released on DVD! AT LAST!!!
I have a bootleg video, but it's not the same. Plus I don't have a VCR. Or rather, I don't have one that works and as everything else I own is DVD there's no point in fixing it. Especially since Neverwhere will be on DVD! YEAH!
2003 is going to be a fantastic year. I just know it. :)

Date: 2003-01-15 06:19 pm (UTC)It's not a movie, although the film version has been in pre-production for five years now, and Neil has no idea when it's going to be made.
Neverwhere was originally a six part mini-series on the BBC in 1996. Due to extreme budget and time restraints they were unable to truly realize Neil's ideas onscreen, so he just said 'That's alright, I'll put it in the book.' And so Neverwhere the novel was born. :)

Date: 2003-01-16 01:52 am (UTC)We shall have to have a party for you then when it comes out! (June, I think is the predicted release, what a great month that will be!)
It's not brilliant (most of the production is like a cheap day on the Doctor Who set) but it has heart and it tries really hard to be different and special. Plus Gary Bakewell is just so gorgeous as Richard. Mmmmmm. *giggles* :)

Date: 2003-01-15 08:40 pm (UTC)Nevvie, I have a serious plan that I think I should let you in on. I'm seriously coming to England in December 2003. I've decided that seeing RoTK just won't be right if I don't get to see it with you. Seeing it with anyone else would be a let-down, because I don't know anyone else who's as crazy and emotional about it as you and I both are.
Anyhoo, I don't know anything else about my next England holiday, except that it will be sometime next December after my exams.
*pain - growing - in - my chest-*
How will I ever make it that long???????????????????
*stares at your icon*
Date: 2003-01-16 01:47 am (UTC)*snuggles you tight*
We have to see it together. Whether I come out to see you or you come to me, it doesn't matter, because whatever happens we WILL be together.
We can make it, don't worry! We'll send each other lots of goodies and talk all the time, and before we know it, it'll be decemeber! I have faith we can do it. *grins*

Date: 2003-01-16 01:57 am (UTC)And, amusingly, I look at Amazon and what's the first thing I see?
The *videos* for Neverwhere on my recommendation list. But I can stay strong, and wait for the DVDs. Honest.
Re:
Date: 2003-01-16 02:04 am (UTC)Hey you! *tackles*
Just a few more months, and then we can have the dvd goodness, and even a possible Neil commentary, woohoooo! :D

Date: 2003-01-16 05:09 am (UTC)I loved the serise!
(Being a long time Neil fan from sandman etc)
Door is just So... door :-)
But I've not read the book! I wonder if teh unabridge ersion is on audio?
Any idea of when the DVD is out? And any extra?
Re:
Date: 2003-01-16 08:08 am (UTC)The dvd has a possible release date in June, and Neil's in talks with the company right now about possible extra features.
The audiobook is sadly an abridged version, but it's read beautifully by Gary Bakewell (aka Richard Mayhew) and it has two interviews about the making of the tv series with Lenny Henry and Neil, plus Brian Eno's excellent music is heard throughout the recording. If you can find a copy, BUY IT. It's well worth it, I promise. :)

It's possibly coming out in june, although the date isn't set yet. Believe me, as soon as I know the actual date I will be shouting about it all over livejournal. *grins*
