Warners Gets Some BONE!!


Merrick here...


Warner Bros. has acquired the movie rights to Jeff Smith's BONE comics. Dan Lin, who is also lording over MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE for the studio, will produce.

The fantasy series followed three cousins from the Bone family who are small, white and bald humanlike creatures with big noses. The trio are run out of their hometown and find themselves in a mysterious valley where they are separated and hunted by other creatures. They are taken in by a girl named Thorn and her grandmother, and find out that the valley is threatened by an evil force called the Lord of the Locusts.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

The Powers That Be are still mulling whether or not this should be a live action film, or animated.

To be completely honest, I don't know much about BONE other than being aware of its existence. However, you can find out more about it at the official site, which you can access HERE!
