Disney Pauses ‘The Graveyard Book’ Film Following Assault Allegations Against Neil Gaiman
Disney is hitting pause on its adaptation of "The Graveyard Book" in the wake of sexual assault allegations leveled against author Neil Gaiman.
The film from Pinewood Studios with director Marc Forster hasn’t been thrown out entirely, but development was halted for a variety of reasons, including the claims about Gaiman. Per Tortoise’s report, “Gaiman’s account is that they only ‘cuddled’ and ‘made out’ in the bath and that he had established consent for this.” He says he and Scarlett had a three-week sexual relationship in which they only engaged in consensual digital penetration. Tortoise released a podcast series detailing the allegations, and three additional women came forward with their own accusations in subsequent episodes.
