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?
