From the creator of Coraline
Interview with a Vampire and A Company of Wolves helmer Neil Jordan is poised to direct a screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book.”
It was reported in October that Framestore, a UK-based FX house, picked up the rights to the story. Gaiman, out promoting Coraline, told The Today Show today about Jordan’s involvement.
“The Graveyard Book” focuses on the life of Nobody Owens, a boy raised by the dead in a cemetery. It was published by Harper Collins and released last year. Jordan was once attached to direct an adaptation of Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box, but he backed out last summer.
