‘American Gods’ Trailer: Is Your Body Ready?

[quote_simple]“Finally, you’ve come along. The way I feel about you, it just can’t be wrong!” -CeCe Peniston[/quote_simple] American Gods! Do y’all even know how long I’ve been waiting for an adaptation of this book? This is the novel that made me fall in love with Neil Gaiman’s writing. Reading American Gods made me buy Stardust the novel and the movie. Reading American Gods made me follow Neil Gaiman on Tumblr. And with the look of this trailer, I wouldn’t be surprised if watching American Gods grows my edges back. American Gods finna be the Jamaican Black Castor Oil of television shows. Watch out HBO, Starz is coming for that ass.

First things first, the casting on this show is on point. Good old Neil said that the only thing he would be strict with for this television incarnation of his novel is the cast’s racial make-up. Show creators Bryan Fuller and Michael Green clearly agree with him. I won’t heap praise on them for not whitewashing these characters but thanks for doing your jobs, guys. They seriously took care with matching actors with characters. Hell, we don’t even see everybody in the trailer, but just seeing people matched up on IMDB lets you know that they know. They know y’all!
