"HBO has unveiled plans to develop Neil Gaiman&amp;#039;s American Gods for a potential TV series.  The Hollywood Reporter announced that the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning fantasy book is currently being adapted for the screen and may go on to become part of the cable network&amp;#039;s primetime roster.  It was previously thought that American Gods, which centres on a mysterious ex-convict named Shadow and his adventures following the death of his wife, would be developed into a movie after Gaiman hinted last month that he had sold the rights to the book to an Oscar-winning director.  It has since been revealed that Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman&amp;#039;s production company Playtone is behind the project, though no further information is currently available. Several of Gaiman&amp;#039;s works have already made it to film and TV, including Coraline, Stardust and the forthcoming production of Good Omens.  Gaiman&amp;#039;s latest work, the 2008 novel The Graveyard Book, is currently being adapted by Neil Jordan. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
