* [[Terry Pratchett]] has joked that the road to film for ''[[Good Omens]]'' has become so long and complicated that even he has stopped paying attention.

Gilliam eventually released a documentary about making the film, but the film itself was never completed.

* [[Terry Gilliam]] was also going to direct an adaptation of ''[[Good Omens]]''. A script was completed in 2002, but the project has essentially been in Development Hell ever since. Just about every Gilliam film experiences Development Hell one way or another. Says Eric Idle on Terry Gilliam productions, "Go and see them by all means -- but to be in them, fucking madness!" |
