Books Of Magic is a comic book series created by Sandman writer Neil Gaiman. Books Of Magic follows Tim Hunter a young magician as he learns his trade as a magician. Hmm sounds a bit like Harry Potter doesn't it? Well Books Of Magic came out before Harry Potter did. But saying that there was also Summer Magic in 2000AD which mined a similar vein to both of them and that came out long before either of them. Either way the fact that the Harry Potter movie is nearly with us will probably serve to keep Books Of Magic firmly in development hell.

Neil Gaiman was signed up as Executive Producer when word of a possible movie was first talked about a couple of years back. Matt Greenberg was signed up to write a script for a Books Of Magic movie, producing the movie was The Canton Company.

Gaiman talked about his role as executive producer "My role is chiefly to try to stop it turning into something else. Almost to remind people that this is Books of Magic, this is who Tim Hunter is, this is some of the cool stuff about it."

And that seemed to be all that was heard of the project until late last year until Nathan Kane of The Canton Company revealed they were still working on the project "Matt Greenberg did a draft that the studio loved. We're now getting ready to go out to directors, so that project's very much alive and it's healthy now."

We shall have to wait and see, is there room for two junior magicians at the movies?
