I didn't have the stomach to enjoy this book (the thought of the main character's undead wife slowly decomposing body still makes me queasy, and I read the book almost ten years ago), but Neil Gaiman's less delicate fans will be pleased to hear that Tom Hanks is looking to produce an open-ended TV series for HBO based on Gaimain's novel American Gods. Nothing is set in stone yet, but it's slated for six seasons, each of which will consist of 10 to 12 hour-long episodes, with a hefty budget ($35 to 40 million per season) and a projected start date of 2013.
