No one said that.
In the spirit of moving on, I am looking forward to this very much. I bought the first book as an e-book, but I’m not wild about the reading experience. I’m going to try one a different tablet, but I suspect a physical copy is in my future.
Moderating:
I think we’ve beat the question of the race of the actress playing Death to death. Please drop the topic.
Re: “she was a Chinese human (sorry I’m just hitting general reply….I’m on my phone and have never mastered snipping)”
Pictures were provided of Death with Caucasian skin, one of which was her as a literal human (as she does once a century) I noted that but then remembered once as a literal human she had alabaster skin as she usually does……so any point I had to make such as “Well she’s literally human there so of course her having caucasian skin doesn’t prove anything”
Was moot cause she also appeared as a Chinese human with alabaster skin
I was shooting any potential argument I could have made in the foot
Sorry …I just saw this. Noted
Looking at the cast, Lyta Hall will be making an appearance.
I wonder if the show could survive all the way until Morpheus dies and is replaced with Daniel.
Speaking of cast…the older characters are inspired choices and a few others. Charles Dance, Gwen Christie, Stephen Fry…
The only misgiving is that I wasn’t cast as Hob Gadling. I knock that out of the park in my head when i read his stuff.
Trivia: I went to the same HS as one of the writers, Allan Heinberg. Not quite at the same time, though I think i accidentally levelled him in an alumni soccer game.
nvm, saw the modnote.
Here is some behind-the-scenes footage:
I suspect I’m going to be making a replica of the helm, soon.
And here are some photos of Death. Look at that smile!
Is the permanent Blue Steel expression makeup, CGI, or taught facial muscles?
Based on her role on The Good Place, I think she’s going to be freaking fantastic as Death. Indeed, the biggest worry is that she’s gonna get typecast as a brilliant, cheerful woman who accepts no bullshit and hangs out in the afterlife.
Are we sure that it’s actually John’s ancestor, as opposed to a female John? Do we have confirmation of this? Or are you just speculating based on the name?
Note that Lucifer and Lucian/ Lucienne were male in the original, and are also female in the TV version.
I read it in one of the articles. It would be a weird speculation anyway, wouldn’t it?
Coleman is Johanna Constantine, haunted exorcist and Occult Adventuress for Hire. Johanna is also John Constantine’s great-great-great grandmother.
It’s both. “You get her as a modern woman and you get her as the one in the 1790s. Both.”
I was wondering if they were somehow replacing Hob’s storyline with her, but I see a Hob in the cast. Not that that precludes her being immortal as well, I mean look at who she’s talking to in the trailer.
Lucifer was always rather androgynous in the comic. Casting a female thespian for the role is not much of a stretch.
Getting slight Tilda Swinton-as-Gabriel vibes from that casting.
Tilda Swinton’s performance in the Constantine movie was very strongly reminiscent of Gaiman’s portrayal of Lucifer.
I like the bright cheery setting for that scene….that’s definitely not something that easily comes off the page
Just looked up the cast on imdb, and squeed just a little bit at Stephen Fry as Gilbert. That’s perfect casting.
