Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book Movie Adaptation Gets New Director
The movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is moving forward with a new director. Hailed by many as one of Gaiman's best works, the YA novel was published in 2008 and followed the orphan Nobody «Bod» Owens as he is raised by supernatural creatures in a cemetery. In 2012, Disney acquired the rights to The Graveyard Book and enlisted The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline filmmaker Henry Selick to direct a feature adaptation. Selick later exited the film, and Ron Howard stepped in at the helm. The movie subsequently passed through various screenwriters, but all plans fell through, causing the adaptation to get stuck in development hell. There have been no updates on the movie since 2018, although now it seems there is finally some headway.
