The news broke this week that Vijaya and I made a deal with Warner Bros. for the film rights to BONE. You can get the details at Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

The whole thing happened very quickly last Friday night. Warners called and made us a real offer, it was as simple as that.  They stated their seriousness to stay true to the books, and after a couple of back and forths, the whole thing was over in an hour and a half. Vijaya and I had a celebratory drink and went to bed. We woke up Saturday morning  to find the internet on fire!

There’s a lot of speculation about what the film will look like, but I honestly don’t know yet. I’m partial to 2D, but if something  else looks freaking mind-blowing, I’m open to it.

Not much more to say at this point. We’re at the very beginning of the process, and anything can happen.

I have to admit, though, the idea of the Looney Tunes WB shield zooming out at the beginning of a BONE movie would be pretty cool. Fingers crossed!

finally the sequel we've all been waiting for.

2D or boycott

I was originally going to make a community post about the news but I seriously don't know what to make of it.  Nickelodeon tried to make a Bone cartoon but it was going to include fucking Britney Spears music and all the characters would be dancing and singing and BLEEEEEEEEECH.  Personally, I want the movie to be traditionally animated but the American audience is so spoiled by CG crap that I know it won't happen.  I can settle with real actors portraying the humans and the Bone brothers and the talking animals would be CG because the atmosphere is set up that way, but I'm pretty skeptic about this.

2D or boycott
