Grave Situation

Neil Gaiman assures us that the film adaptation of his "The Graveyard Book is still in the pipeline but with a different distributor and a possible new director.

The author tells The Los Angeles Times that "It was all put together over at Miramax Films. The people there had a long, great relationship with [helmer] Neil Jordan and it was all set up and ready to go, and then Miramax was more or less erased from existence."

He added "... But it looks like almost all the pieces are on the table again. They have a studio, they have a distributor and they are putting stuff together and I'm not allowed to say anything else."

Gaiman is also penning a screenplay from his novel Anansi Boys.
