¡NEIL GAIMAN ADAPTARÁ A TV LAS NOVELAS DE GORMENGHAST DE MERVYN PEAKE!

¡Los lectores de fantasía están de suerte, tanto por la adaptación de este clásico -que ya tuvo una versión de la BBC- como por quien la va a realizar!


Se han adquirido las tres novelas iniciales más Boy in Darkness y Titus Awakes.


The books follow the inhabitants of Castle Gormenghast, a sprawling, decaying, gothic-like structure with a raft of characters including Titus, the heir to the throne of the House of Groan, scheming kitchen boy Steerpike and twin sisters Cora and Clarice.



Gaiman ha declarado:

There is nothing in literature like Mervyn Peake’s remarkable Gormenghast novels.

They were crafted by a master, who was also an artist, and they take us to an ancient castle as big as a city, with heroes and villains and people larger than life that are impossible to forget.



There is a reason why there were two trilogies that lovers of the fantasy genre embraced in the Sixties: Lord of the Rings, and the Gormenghast books.

It’s an honor to have been given the opportunity to help shepherd Peake’s brilliant and singular vision to the screen.
