fuckyeahgoodomens:Terry wrote to me and he said ”You have to do this ”- he began this email, I went back and looked at it the other day - ”I know how busy you are, but you are the only person who has the same understanding of and passion for the old girl that I do, so you got to do it ‘cause I want to see it.” And I said yes. And very shortly after, Terry died. So now he couldn’t see it. So I had to make the thing that he wanted, which meant it became kind of a mad passion project. The things that if it was a me-project I would’ve given away on, things I wouldn’t have held the line on like some kind of a mad-eyed prophet.Suddenly I’m going ”No, you cannot take this out. This is going to be in there. Because Terry wrote that scene and he would have wanted to see it, so it’s in there.” And they’re like ”Oh, but do you know how much money we could save if you don’t actually see Agnes Nutter being blown up and arrested and dragged to the stake, we got this idea,” said an early bunch of producers who later left, ”that we could have woodcuts and the narrator explaining what happened. Isn’t that just as good?”And I sort of mentally run that by the ghostly Terry Pratchett in the back of my head, it’s like: ”Terry, is that just as good?” And he’s like: ”Fuck ‘em.”After seeing the trailer to The Watch (with great horror) I am so happy Neil Gaiman made Good Omens ❤. Thank you @neil-gaiman. -- source link
