fantasybookreview.co.uk has info on a Neil Gaiman silent film:
Bill Nighy will star in one of a series of short silent films to be broadcast on Sky1 over Christmas.
The Love Actually actor will star in Statuesque, which tells the story of a love triangle between two living statues and an admirer who observes his object of affection every day among the Christmas shoppers – but is unaware that he too is being watched.
The short film was written by Neil Gaiman, who worked on Coraline and Stardust.
Also in the 12-film series are Dog Alone, That Syncing Feeling and a film with the working title Three Kings.
Elaine Pyke, head of drama at Sky1, said: “We’re thrilled to have such a wealth of talent collaborating on these 12 unique films that are shaping up to be beautiful and uplifting.

Sounds bleeping cool! I am excited to see it. Does it sound like a film that would interest you? Why? Do you like Neil Gaiman’s work?
Neil Gaiman is the Ed Wood of film-making. Who cares what he's doing? Why does corporate america try to sell his crappy books and now some dumb move about statues? Gaiman is a joke.

No. This film sounds incredibly stupid. Neil Gaiman funds Scientology to the tune of six figures. The Gaiman family USA are listed as “Patrons with Honor” and “Founding Patrons”of Scientology for 2003, 2004 & 2006. According to ex scientologist Jon Attack, Patrons (are) the highest ranking membership – of the International Association of Scientologists.
I absolutely adore Neil Gaiman! I can't wait for this to be released!
