Famous for his work on The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, Henry Selick is set to adapt a film version of Neil Gaiman’s Hugo and Newbery award winning novel, The Graveyard Book. At this time it is unknown who will be writing the screenplay adaptation nor is it known if the film will be stop motion animation in the style of Selick’s previous work.
The Graveyard Book tells the story of Nobody Owens, an orphan raised by ghosts in a graveyard. We’re excited about whatever form the film adaptation takes and can’t wait for its eventual release.
