OMG This is epic _ American Gods on TV

Today I very nearly screamed my house down from excitement when I heard this. WhenI tweeted the news I could hardly type. I learnt that HBO is definately in the throws of making a TV series out of my most favourite novel: American Gods. And the DOUBLE EPIC, who did the cinematographer Robert Richardson announce he'd like to cast as Shadow? None other than the divinely beautiful, dark, broody and soft hearted Joe Manganiello. I would happily declare that this is the most beautiful man on the face of the earth. Much to my hubby's whom I have been telling for years to get his jaw off the floor and get over his unhealthy relationship with Shakira's hips. 

Enough about this fine specimen. I thought the rest of the cast was tops too except for the girl that is supposed to act as the beautiful Laura (Shadow's late wife). I don't think she meets the standard looks wise. But there rest, awesome. Check it out. 2013 feels a million years away. 

I LOVE YOU HBO. I'm not worried one bit about American Gods in your hands, you've done fabulous work in the recent past. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I have not been this excited about TV since True Blood.

The rest of the proposed cast membersI also think were matched perfectly taken from Den of Geek:

Mr Wednesday - Brendan Gleeson

(there could not be a more perfect Mr. Wednesday)

Czernobog-  Michael Ironside
(Czernobog like crushing brains with a hammer, how apt is the actors name?)

Mad Sweeney - Robert Carlisle
Low-Key Lyesmith - Jackie Earl Haley

Hinzelmann - Mickey Rooney

Mr Ibis - Mark Gatiss

Mr Jacquel - Idris Elba

(Oh yes I definately like him for this role)
