DEATH

Fan fave Guillermo del Toro is quoted at Sci Fi Wire talking about who he wants to usher the Vertigo character on to the silver screen: creator Neil Gaiman, who has never directed a film. "I think that if anyone knows that character, it's him," del Toro said. "And then, if we need to create a support structure, we will. I mean, there is without a doubt no one more qualified to tell that story than Neil Gaiman in my mind ... I think that Neil is a guy that thinks in terms of ideas and very concrete images. He's not an artist in the sense that he's not a draftsman, but he is the creator of that universe. ... I think there's a great advantage to not knowing how things should be done. People just go and make them happen, because they don't know that they are impossible. ... I prefer first-time mistakes than 10th-time mistakes. I think these guys are going to have first-time things that no one else is going to do. So hopefully it will happen."
