Aanimal House

The big screen rights to have been sold to Doug TenNapel's soon to be released graphic novel "Monsters Zoo" according to Variety

The live-action adaptation that will be produced by Sam Raimi (pictured) and Joshua Donen. The search is on for a writer...

The tale concerns an ancient idol is discovered underground and then transported to a zoo in the U.S. There, the idol's spirit awakens and starts to mutate the caged animals.

A group of teenagers band together to try and stop the transformations from destroying the world. The book will be published in May by Image Comics.

The project sounds like it's right up Raimi's alley to direct--following Drag Me to Hell and unless he is coaxed to helm Spider-Man 4.
