John Cameron Mitchell, the creator of acclaimed hit, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, doing a movie based on a Neil Gaiman short story seemed like a match made in heaven, but unfortunately How to Talk to Girls at Parties disappointed when it arrived in 2017. Nevertheless, the film is as quirky and imaginative as you would expect. Alex Sharpstars as a pun...
Alongside every other pie he has a finger in, Gaiman is also a successful short story writer. In 2016, Sky One and Shudder teamed up to create an anthology series based on his shorter works titled Neil Gaiman’s Likely Stories.

Still, there’s plenty to love about the show,...

Dakota Fanning voices Coraline Jones, the eponymous brave young girl who must rescue her parents from the clutches of the Othe...
After 30 years, there were high expectations for this Netflix series to live up to its seminal source material. With Gaiman on board as co-showrunner, the first season is a close retelling of the first two comic book volumes — and all the better for it. Starring Tom Sturridge as Dream of the Endless, the series is just as epic, dark, and grandiose ...
Before The Sandman got here, there was this 2019 animated short all about Dream’s big sister, Death. Available as an extra on the home release of Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, the 20-minute short details the life of Gotham City resident Vincent Omata (Leonardo Nam) in flashbacks, with the role of Death played by Sucker Punch star Jamie Chung. Although ...
After the death of Good Omens co-author Sir Terry Pratchett, Gaiman decided to take the bull by the horns and spearhead the long-gestating TV series himself.
