CHRIS COLUMBUS ENABLES NEIL JORDAN’S ADATATION OF NEIL GAIMAN’S ‘THE GRAVEYARD BOOK’

In October of 2008 we heard from Neil Gaiman that a film was in development based on his novel The Graveyard Book. A few months later, Gaiman revealed that Neil Jordan would write and direct. And that, for the most part, is all we’ve known about the project.
Now a report on the slate of films for Chris Columbus‘ company 1492 Pictures and financing partner CJ Entertainment out of South Korea suggests that the film is coming closer to being a reality. That’s a joy; not only is Jordan a potentially great choice for the material, but after a week of regurgitated reboot and sequel news, this is news of a film that could have a unique identity.
Deadline reports on the development, reiterating that Jordan will write and direct the live-action film. Gaiman is producing with Framestore (who have been on board since the beginning) and Wayfare Entertainment; CJ will co-finance the film and distribute in Korea and Japan.

‘ LOST BOYS : THE THIRST’ TRAILER

Yet another attempt to ride the cash cow that was the original Lost Boys film is in the works. Lost Boys: The Thirst is on its way to the big screen, and the makers are saying it will be much bigger than the second attempt, Lost Boys: The Tribe, that released straight to DVD in 2008.
Frog Brother, Corey Feldman, returns to the series, which at this point isn’t enough to convince me to watch it. Especially not on the big screen. Apparently, Feldman is also an executive producers for the film, which was shot in South Africa. That isn’t making me want to watch it either.
The Thirst promises to have more blood, nudity, scars, violence and natural-looking vampires. Does that mean they’re going to sparkle like Edward Cullen?

I fell in love with Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Graveyard Book’ the moment I heard him read an excerpt of it when I was at a signing in Sydney, and am THRILLED at the prospect of a movie about it!YAY! I’m not expecting the movie to follow the book to the letter – it would be hard to get all the nuances and intricacies down to a few hours in the cinema – but, like the other adaptations of Mr Gaiman’s work, I’m expecting the essence of the story to be alive and kicking
What movie are you looking forward to this summer?
