Good Omens title sequence




Good Omens is one of my favorite books ever written by both Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet. They managed to create a surreal story about the end of the world full of british humour and popculture references. That's why I would love to see a movie adaptation. I'm pretty sure that both Gaiman and Pratchett would make sure it doesn't get the hollywood dumbing-down treatment.
Unfortunately there is no talks about the movie at this moment. This doesn't stop people like Steven Wood from making amazing fake intros. This one in particular stands out due to kick ass soundtrack and a really nice theme. The title sequence skips around an old book full of pictures and verses regarding the apocalypse. Credits are made into figure descriptions and really nicely blend with the overall look. I also absolutely love the made up cast with (among other great names) Simon Pegg, Peter Serafinowicz and most importantly Christina Hendricks as War.

All in all, great title design.

    I'm a Gaiman reader as well; I really enjoyed American Gods. So much so that I lent it to my GF so she could see how cool it is.

    I really liked the theme of this little promo also!
    It has that old-book feel, almost like a Nostradamus' book look

    After Effects is sooooo much fun to play around in. Great fake intro loved the Simon Pegg reference.

    Gaiman's Sandman series was awesome, and Terry Pratchett never puts a foot wrong.
