Neil Gaiman makes a Christmas movie!

Neil Gaiman's long-hinted-at short film will happen, and it will apparently star ubiquitous character actor Bill Nighy. According to Cinematical, the movie will be a silent short described as "a love story involving two statues and Christmas shoppers".

Eh, it's a tough call. At his best, Gaiman can be adorable, but he can also be pretentious as all-git-out. However, I do like Bill Nighy, so we'll have to see....
