Blending live action and animation, Edgar Wright and Johnny Depp are pitching their take on Neil Gaiman's Fortunately, The Milk...
Here’s one of the best lists of potential collaborators you’re likely to see today. The Tracking Board is reporting that early talks are afoot for Edgar Wright to direct Johnny Depp in a Neil Gaiman adaptation with a script by Flight Of The Conchords’ Bret McKenzie. Crikey.
McKenzie has apparently already written the script, adapting Gaiman’s 2013 children’s novel Fortunately, The Milk (which boasted gorgeous illustrations from Chris Riddell) into a feature-length film.
The book is about a dad left alone with the kids, who nips out to buy some milk and ends up embroiled in an adventure consisting of time travel, dinosaurs, aliens and much more. Or, at least, that’s what he tells the kids when he eventually arrives home.

His comedy is certainly not meant for kids, but Russell Brand is breaking from the norm to write a children's book.
Though it's not clear yet if he's playing a practical joke, the British funny man's video message on Tuesday (April 1) shared details of his project.
If it is a prank, it's well constructed as the ex-husband of Katy Perry explained that Chris Riddell is doing the drawings for the book, even showing some of the characters already drawn.
According to Russell, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is the first in the series called "Russell Brand's Trickster Tales," where "I'd do interpretations of fairy stories and folk tales believing them to be the code to unlocking aspects of our consciousness and to affect and impact the way that we see the world." Check out the video below, in which Russell reads from the first in the series.
