Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

tomhaldenby asked: Do you know what platforms (netflix, Amazon ect) good omens will be on when it releases? And can you to tell us how closely it's going to follow the book?

Amazon are paying for it, so I think it’s a dead certainty that it will be on Amazon.

It follows the book very closely, although it also includes things and people that Terry and I had talked about over the years as things we’d do if we made Good Omens into a film or into TV (a lot more angels, for a start), and it includes a sort of mini movie about Aziraphale and Crowley’s friendship over the last 6000 years, and I also did some stuff to the plot at the end to stop anyone who has read the book from becoming too complacent during the final episode. 

@galdramani you almost certainly know about this but Good Omens movie?!

Happy Little Translation Error?

So I lent my friend my mainland Chinese copy of Good Omens, and she’s been commenting on various stuff in the book to me as she read along. One day she messaged, “Crowley’s so cute, chasing after the hedgehogs like that.”

And I said, “……………..what?????!?”

So she told me where in the book it was, and it was the part after Cr&Az realized that Warlock isn’t the kid, talked to the nun, and got out of the hospital. It did say that Crowley was “trying to hit a hedgehog and missing”, but I soon realized that the “second line” she told me that’s about the hedgehog is, “The angel stared out at the rushing hedgerows.” Apparently the Chinese translator read “hedgerows” and thought it was “hedgehogs” again. Obviously it didn’t make a huge change to the plot line, but basically, in the Chinese version of Good Omens, Crowley chased a hedgehog while convincing Aziraphale, “drove in silence for a while”, and then chatted with Aziraphale some more. Meanwhile Aziraphale saw everything but decided to let Crowley do his thing.

So…yeah.

You know, between life and what’s happening in politics and work and too much travel and missing my baby son (he and Amanda are at a conference in Canada and I am hiding to try and make a deadline) it’s been a rotten week.

This, for the record, suddenly made everything really good. It may be my favourite ever Tumblr post.

Crowley: Aziraphale, I have to say – of all the deceitful, unprincipled, corrupt things I’ve done in my entire life, nothing is as bad as…
Aziraphale: Politics.
Crowley: I can’t even say it.
