Neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE

[Bosco685]

Francis Lawrence To Produce & Direct ‘Neverwhere’ & ‘House Of Thieves’ Series Projects Financed By Mark Gordon Co.

 

Mark Gordon has teamed with Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence and Lawrence’s longtime producing partner and manager Erwin Stoff for two drama series projects: Neverwhere, an adaptation of fantasy writer Neil Gaiman’s BBC miniseries and subsequent novel, and House Of Thieves, based on the just-released mystery novel by Charles Belfoure. Gordon’s independent production studio, the Mark Gordon Company, which is backed by Entertainment One, will fund the development of both projects and is committed to deficit finance any of them that go to series. Lawrence is attached to direct both dramas, which he is executive producing with Gordon and Stoff.

 

In urban fantasy Neverwhere, when Richard Mayhew encounters an injured girl named Door on the street one night, he decides to help her despite his fiancée’s protests. Upon doing so he ceases to exist on Earth and becomes real only to the denizens of “London Below,” whose inhabitants are generally invisible and non-existent to the people of “London Above.” He loses his house, his job and nearly his mind as he travels London Below in an attempt to make sense out of it all, find a way back and help Door survive as she is hunted down by hired assassins.

 

I remember the original BBC version of this.
