Another Neil Gaiman book coming to the big screen

Dreamworks Pictures has picked up the rights to Neil Gaiman's Interworld, a book that he co-wrote with Michael Reaves, and which has not been published yet. The story focusses on a man called Joey, who has the power to travel between dimensions, and who is soon chased by two armies, those of magic and science, who will do anything they can to gain control of this power. To fight these armies, Joey travels to many different dimensions and recruits every single version of himself that he comes across. A great concept, as you can expect from Gaiman, and one that can surely be turned into a great movie. Later this year we will see Gaiman's Stardust hit the big screen, while more of his work is also on it's way to hit the big screen (he wrote the script for Beowulf, for instance, and might direct the adaptation of his graphic novel Death: The High Cost of Living). His partner in crime on this book, Michael Reaves, is a man better known for his scripts for TV-shows like Star Trek and The Father Dowling Mysteries. Originally, the two friends pitched the idea as a movie idea, but when movie studios failed to be very enthusiastic about the idea, they decided to make it into a book. Which is now being adapted into a movie after all. Sometimes life is so ironic.
