Two New Clips of Neil Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS Series Focus on Shadow Moon

I've always been very interested in all kinds of mythology, and Neil Gaiman's American Gods is a novel that has fascinated me greatly. I was intrigued by the fact that Starz was developing a TV series and so far everything I've seen looks beautiful, and I can hardly wait to see what the series has in store for me and the rest of the fans. 

While we wait for the series to premiere, we have two clips for you to watch teasing the show, and it looks to be very good. The first one deals with two inmates, one of which is Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) the other is Low Key (Jonathan Tucker), talking about not pissing off the ladies in airports. It's cool, but also interesting how much focus they give to this scene. It's well done, but it's just about airport ladies? The other scene is more of a featurette that gives you an idea of who Shadow Moon is and what the story of the whole series is. I also want to point out that the cinematography for this series looks amazing, and the concept behind the whole thing sounds wonderful. Color me impressed.

American Gods airs on Starz April 30th,

American Gods finds traditional Old Gods, with mythological roots from around the world, fearing irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology and celebrity offered by the New Gods. The 100‘s Ricky Whittle plays Shadow Moon, an ex-con who, left adrift by the recent death of his wife, becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to conman Mr. Wednesday (Deadwood‘s Ian McShane). But in truth, Mr. Wednesday is a powerful old deity, on a cross-country mission to build an army and reclaim his lost glory.

Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) and Michael Green (Kings) are developing the series, and it has a great cast that includes Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) as Laura Moon, Pablo Schreiber (Orange Is the New Black) as Mad Sweeney, Yetide Badaki (Sequestered) as Bilquis, Bruce Langley as Technical Boy, Crispin Glover (Back to the Future) as Mr. World and Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow) as Mr. Nancy. Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies), Gillian Anderson (Hannibal), Cloris Leachman (Raising Hope), Peter Stormare (Prison Break), Corbin Bernsen (Psych) and Jonathan Tucker (Kingdom) also have roles in the series.
