Bone - The Movie?

It's afoot.

From a story in the Los Angeles Times...

Various film versions of “Bone” have been in the works for almost 10 years, Smith said, but translating the elaborate tale of the Bone cousins being kicked out of their town and landing in a valley they never knew existed “has been a real puzzler,” even though the cartoon portion is already drawn.

Paramount and Nickelodeon were involved in early film attempts. In the last couple of years, Warner Bros. has taken up the charge: Two scripts have already been written and rejected — a third is currently in the works and will most likely yield three separate, computer-animated, 3-D films, Smith said.

“I’m a comic book guy, I’m not a movie guy,” he explained, adding that he’s “actually excited about the movie for the first time in a long time” after having seen a four-minute “Bone” short recently put together by Warner Bros.

“Fone Bone was falling in the water and going through cliffs and canyons. The dragon moved in from off camera in the shadows with smoke around him, all in 3-D. It was pretty mind-blowing,” said Smith, who estimates that the earliest a “Bone” film would be done is two years from now.
