Neil Gaiman Poem to Be Adapted Into Stopmotion Film

By Maryann Yin 

St Oran 200 (GalleyCat)Jim Batt, an animator, plans to create a stopmotion movie called The Grave of St. Oran. The story will be based on Neil Gaiman’s poem, “In Relig Odhrain.”

According to the creative team’s website, Gaiman will serve as the narrator for the film. This piece was included in Gaiman’s 2015 collection, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances.

In the near future, a Kickstarter campaign will be launched to raise funds for this adaptation project. Click on this link to watch a video with Gaiman reading his poetic piece.
