Neil Gaiman fans rejಌoice: Coraline director Henry Selick has told totalfilm.com to expect more Gaiman adaptations from him in the future.

“We’re actually talking about it definitely,” he told us when we asked him what he'd like to do next. “We want to work together again, but I’d rather♍ not say right now because there are so many - several - titles under discussion.”

American Gods? Neverwhere? Sandman? O♑ur mouth waters...

Despite not being familiar with Gaiman’s novels before wo𝓀rking on Coraline, the man behind Nightmare Before Christmas also said he’d found a kindred spi🌃rit in the author.

“It was a nice ﷽surprise and I felt like he was a brother you know, like my original friendship with🍸 Tim Burton.

“He felt like someone from the same planet as me, maybe different neighbourhood - he wear𝕴s more black than me - but it was a nice script&ꦺrdquo;.

Selick was close-lipped when we pressed for more details, but 🍃he did speak a little about what Gaiman is curr🉐ently working on.

“I’m always interested in the next thing he’s going to write.🍒 At the moment, he’s on a pa🐬rticular project which takes him to China.

“So I can&rsqu🦹o;t give out any titles but it was a great collaboration, really an artistical♈ly enhancing experience.”

It certainly sounds promising, especially as Cora𒆙line turned out so well (♎ ).

So what Neil Gaiman project would you like to see Selick pick up next?
