In a round of musical directors, control over one of the latest Neil Gaiman films, Black Hole, has been handed off from Alexandre Aja to David Fincher.

Black Hole, meanwhile, sounds like a real winner. There’s a sexually transmitted disease roaming around, and it doesn’t kill you or do anything that makes you wish you were dead, but rather, it mutates you. In the world of Black Hole, there are two kinds of people—people who look normal and either aren’t getting any or are getting it in the safest possible fashion, and the folks with two heads and four eyes and such that have sex like bunnies on crank. The second group lives mostly underground, and I expect that, eventually, they will be one royally pissed-off underclass that will go cuckoo bananas and smash the overworlders into dirt.

But not before they get shot at a whole lot by the people who actually look like people. Not a bad commentary on society, that…and although there’s plenty of ways to express the conflict, it should still come out fairly well. The fact that Neil Gaiman’s running that particular show does not hurt in the least.

And speaking of things not hurting, swing on over and try the horror movie trivia at Kwanzoo.
