Neil Gaiman Pic ‘The Graveyard Book’ On Pause At Disney Amid Sexual Assault Allegations Against Author


Disney's 'The Graveyard Book' movie is on pause for multiple reasons, including sexual assault allegations against author Neil Gaiman, we've confirmed

Amid a recent series of sexual assault allegations against award-winning author Neil Gaiman, Disney has put a planned feature adaptation of his 2008 YA title The Graveyard Book on pause, Deadline can confirm. Don’t expect to hear more on this project until that situation plays itself out, as The Graveyard Book had been in deep development up until this point, with no cast yet attached. The book’s famed British author, Gaiman — also known for titles like The Sandman, American Gods, Coraline and Good Omens — saw five women raise sexual assault allegations against him this summer, most of them in reporting from the U.K.-based Tortoise Media, which launched a podcast on them.
