Disney to Adapt Neil Gaiman's 'Graveyard Book'

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has picked up Neil Gaiman’s award winning novel Graveyard Book. Gaiman is probably best known outside of comic book circles for his book Coraline which was also turned into a film. Attached to direct is Henry Selick who not only directed Coraline but also Disney’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Producing the project is Gil Netter who has worked on other literary adaptations like Marley & Me and Water for Elepahants.

Reportedly inspired by The Jungle Book, Graveyard Book centers around a boy name Nobody “Bod” Owens. He is raised in a graveyard by ghosts and other creatures after his family is murdered. As a teen he must confront he family’s murderer , a being called “the Man Jack.” I am intrigued by not only the story but also by Selick being attached to direct.
