Neil Gaiman's 'THE GRAVEYARD BOOK' Finally Coming To Life Thanks To The Director Of 'WORLD WAR Z'

It’s been a long time coming but finally, Neil Gaiman’s “THE GRAVEYARD BOOK” is coming to the big screen and the director bringing it to us is Marc Forster (World War Z).

Deadline reports that the adaptation is gearing up with World War Z director Marc Forster attached to direct.

The Graveyard Book tells the story of “Nobody “Bod” Owen, a young boy who is raised by the ghosts and supernatural beings of a graveyard – including, the graveyard’s caretaker Silas – after his family is murdered.”

The book is a riff on Disney’s “Jungle Book” and has very similar yet supernatural tie ins.

Forster’s producing partner Renée Wolfe will produce through their 2Dux2 banner along with Gil Netter. Ben Browning is also producing. David Magee (The School for Good and Evil) was recently tapped to adapt the script.

Disney, Forster and Wolfe previously worked together on the Winnie Pooh live-action pic, Christopher Robin, which 2Dux2 also produced.
