Good Omens, the tv-movie, has progressed to the point that a trailer has been posted! Gaiman referred to "Easter Eggs" being in it, but most of the rapid clips are of moments from the story, not the homages to Sir pTerry like the hat in the bookshop. I admit I hadn't expected Crowley to be quite so hissy, but it seems to come and go. I like what they did with his eyes. Aziraphale isn't what I had imagined but I still like the result.
SPOILERS Good Omens new trailer now on Youtube
- Thread starter =Tamar
- Start date
I didn't notice too much "hissy" there from Crowley, but even if it's there...
I don't usually read notes on Youtube, but I quite like this comment:
It's been ages since I read the book, so I can't remember what Milton Keynes has to do with Good Omens. Is it
Oh, and yes ... I wonder when
will come into the picture. 
I'm not looking forward to the burning bookshop scene, but I'm very much looking forward to
Not to mention
That always cracks me up.
*LOL!*
I suppose that us Aussie provincials won't get to see this until, perhaps, a few months after its UK debut. But I'm glad it will be a series and not an hour-long-movie or a 2-hour movie. There are simply so many good things in the book that it would be a shame to cut them. Not least of which is the following:
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT SAYS. I NEVER LAID A FINGER ON HIM.
(And for those of you who don't know what that means ... it's time to read, or re-read, the book!) :-D
And ... oh. The spoiler tag doesn't work... :-(
consider who Crowley was in The Garden.

where Adam is born?

Bohemian Rhapsody
I'm not looking forward to the burning bookshop scene, but I'm very much looking forward to
the two demons confronting Crowley, any excerpt from Agnes Nutter's diary, and any scene that involves the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Sgt Shadwell and Private Pulsifer, or Anathema Device, or the kids or... oh yes - the man who walks his dog in the village and gets upset about everything and writes to his local paper!!!
"Dear sir, I wish to complain about the instance in which a Bentley on fire is allowed to pollute the streets of our fair village..."

Yeah, Rath, don’t know why spoilers don’t work lately... But you are right, I definitely need to reread the book because I barely remember the plot!

Hmm? *confused* Which promotional video would that be, then? The official teaser? Or the Announcement Featurette, perhaps?
I like the opening sequence very much. Just the right amount of off-beat-ishness (I don't care if that's not a word, 'cos I just made it up!)
Sigh ... I hope we don't have to wait too long to see it here in Oz. How is it that TV has loads and loads of utter rubbish, but wonderful things like this come along about once in a blue moon?

Love it! I especially love the Queen soundtrack - the choice of "Under Pressure" is inspired
(All right, now I must ask: how many Millennials - i.e. children born after the year 2000 - would recognise that song, or even know who Queen is? Oh, and I'm not including any Millennials who were introduced to Queen by their parents. As if kids ever listen to their parents, anyway...)

I'm going to have to disagree with you Rath - a millennial is someone who reached adulthood around the turn of the century, so would be in their late 30s by now.
As for 18/19 year olds, why not include their parents? Parents provide the biggest musical influences for more than half a child's life, if you discount this then the only influence a teen has is from their peers, so they couldn't have realistically been introduced to Queen except by accident (or their peers parents).
There's more to life than Queen anyway. I have a video of sticky midget 2 singing along to 'Bring the Noise' by Public Enemy Have you heard of them?
