    “One of the things I’m concerned about is that I really want to make sure the races of all the characters are kept. I don’t like it when black characters become white in movies, or things like that. That was something I found deeply problematic with the attempt by some people who had a lot of money and a lot of clout, and who wanted the rights to Anansi Boys, at one point. Somewhere in there, they made the fatal mistake of saying to me, “And, of course, the characters won’t be black in the movie because black people don’t like fantasy.” They were suddenly very surprised that we were no longer interested in selling them the book.”

    Neil Gaiman on the American Gods TV adaptation (via tokenblkgirl) Where is the link to the rest of the interview? (via serenadedhourly)

    Good question - I went and found it the full interview here

    (via rubyvroom)

    That’s exactly the reaction I would have. I have these extremely unlikely fantasies of my books becoming great movies someday. If they dare suggest whitewashing my cast, they’re not getting the rights to my movie. You go, Neil!
