12. Good Omens
Plans have been afoot to adapt Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s brilliant comedy fantasy for well over a decade. But those plans were made by Terry Gilliam, who must be the unluckiest filmmakers currently working (for evidence, simply watch the documentary Lost In La Mancha). Funding was acquired but swiftly fell apart in 2002, and little was heard from the Good Omens camp for about five years.
Gilliam mention in a 2007 interview that he had a script ready that he and Gaiman were happy with, but with news breaking in 2011 that Terry Jones was busy adapting the book for TV, it seemed that Gilliam’s involvement had ended.
