Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' Adaptation Ordered by Starz!

Starz has given a straight-to-series order to a drama adaptation of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novel American Gods, and is launching a casting search for the lead role of Shadow Moon! 
The novel, published in 2001, was originally slated to be developed as a series by HBO in 2011 - but the deal fell through, and Starz has picked it up.  Developed and written by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal and Pushing Daisies) and Michael Green (Kings), it will be executive produced by Green and Gaiman.
The book centers on Shadow Moon, an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a con man who is in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.
We are excited to see Starz bring American Gods to life, especially in light of their recent success with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series!

Sound off in the comments - who would you like to see as Shadow in the new series?
