#4 Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens coming to BBC Radio 4

Here’s some news to put a spring in any fantasy fan’s step: following the success of 2013’s splendid Neverwhere dramatzsation, BBC Radio 4 is working to recreate the magic with another UK modern classic, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 novel Good Omens.
GoodOmens_MassMarketPaperback_1185845373Due in December 2014, Good Omens will air in six parts over a single week and is the work of the creative team behind Neverwhere with Dirk Maggs adapting and directing, with the assistance of producer Heather Larmour and of course, Neil Gaiman.
It’s the first time the co-authored novel, a story of ancient prophecies, impending armageddon, and sushi, has been adapted for radio, with progress on a much-anticipated film version with Terry Gilliam appearing to have put on hold for the foreseeable future.
With a whopping cast including Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Peter Serafinowicz and Green Wing’s Mark Heap and many, many more, and maybe even be cameo appearances from both authors, I don’t know about you but I am excited!

#3 Ra’s al Ghul has been cast for Arrow

arrow_casts_ras-al-ghulIt’s recently been announced on  Stephen Amell’s Facebook, he confirmed that Riddick’s Matt Nable has been cast as Ra’s al Ghul in the CW’s Arrow. While it would have been great to see Liam Neeson reprise his role as Ra’s, a move he would have welcomed, it seems like Arrow casting wanted to differ from the movie universe.
The jury remains out on this one! What do you think of the casting choice? Let us know.
