Emmy Rossum hasn't been in a hit movie since The Day After Tomorrow in 2004, and given that Dragonball: Evolution earned $4.6 million at the domestic box office this weekend, that's not changing any time soon. But MTV's Splash Page, perhaps just in the interest of stirring up some news, seems convinced that her participation could make it possible for Neil Gaiman's Death to finally become a movie.
Not that she's signed on, exactly. Or will even admit that she's ever spoken to Gaiman. But after Rossum admitted to MTV that she's a Gaiman fan, they pressed her on whether or not she'd contacted him about being in Death or Orchid. Naturally, they took her "No comment" to mean "Oh yeah, I am starring in both!" Which is obviously unlikely.
This reminds me mostly of another notorious rumor that MTV pulled out of a hat, and I'm not really willing to seriously consider the notion that Emmy Rossum will be starring in not one, but two, Neil Gaiman movies. But hey, it's a rumor, and all we ask is that you treat it as such.
