Neil Gaiman NYCC Good Omens
The Graveyard Book has been in development for a long time, sometimes looking like it's finally happening, and then something comes up. After Disney hired director Marc Forster to work on the film adaptation, that has also hit a snag. The company has paused development of the film following the sexual assault allegations levied against the source material's writer, Neil Gaiman, IndieWire reported. Production had already set up offices, and reportedly, the film has not been scrapped.
Four women levied sexual abuse allegations against Gaiman in a detailed podcast series by UK-based startup news outlet Tortoise Media. A fifth woman came forward in another podcast, "Am I Broken: Survivor Stories," with more allegations. One of the first accusers alleged that Gaiman assaulted her while she worked as a nanny for his child in New Zealand in 2022.
'The Graveyard Book' Seems to Be in Perpetual Development Hell Several of Gaiman's adaptations travel a long road to the screen, but The Graveyard Book's journey seems endless. Originally acquired by Disney to be made by Coraline's director, Henry Selick, he would leave the company later, and the project fell apart.
"Every 18 months, the same cycle has been happening, where they tell me that they’ve got a new writer on it. Then, a few months later, they send me a script and it’s okay. It’s 75% of the way there. It reads a lot like the last scripts that were done. And then, they tell me that they’re out for a rewrite. Normally, I don’t get sent the rewritten script. They just tell me, “No, we don’t really like it. But we’ve got an idea for a writer who’s going to really nail this.
The latest attempt had not yet set a cast for the project. Gaiman asserts he has no sway over how the adaptation goes, but he hopes "that they make it, and that they make it into something good. I would be perfectly happy for The Graveyard Book to be a TV series." Gaiman's The Sandman was adapted to a TV series set to return for Season 2 on Netflix, while Dead Boy Detectives was canceled after one season.
