I had no idea this was in the works. But Laika is making an animated film adaptation of Colin's book, Wildwood. They announced the cast a few days ago and it's incredible!
More from Deadline:
Quote:
The pic, directed by Laika’s Travis Knight, was originally announced in September, with the main cast revealed Thursday. It is being adapted from the series of novels by Colin Meloy, lead singer of The Decemberists, and illustrator Carson Ellis. Chris Butler, who wrote and directed the Laika pics ParaNorman and Missing Link, penned the script.
It marks the first film from Laika since 2019’s Missing Link. All five of the studio’s previous films have gotten Oscar Animated Feature nominations.
No release date has been set for this one, and roles for the voice cast remain under wraps.
The logline from the studio: Beyond Portland, Oregon’s city limits lies Wildwood. You’re not supposed to go there. You’re not even supposed to know it exists. But Prue McKeel is about to enter this enchanted wonderland. Her baby brother Mac has been taken by a murder of crows into the forest’s depths, and she – along with her hapless classmate Curtis – is going to get him back. Prue might think she’s too old for fairytales, but she’s just found herself at the center of one. One filled with strange talking animals, roguish bandits, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. Wildwood is a tale of love, loss, sacrifice and secrets, and of the magic you can find on your doorstep, if you’re willing to look for it.

Noah Baumbach adaptation of DeLillo's White Noise. No official date on when it releases.
I'll probably be skipping this. Noah Baumbach is far from a director I feel compelled to see anything from, and the book means a lot to me as a book. I'm usually all in on book-movie adaptations, but this one is special (to me) and Baumbach is not (to me). So, I'll need to think about it

I'm not like Argo at all. I think this is going to suck ass and for that reason I am definitely going to watch it.

yeah mao ii and libra are dope
im feeling more sanguine on the movie having seen the teaser, tho ive been & remain in the camp that thinks this will be bad.
asher, the novel can survive a bad adaptation. many others have. you could also take stock in knowing it's not even his fifth best book. whatever happens, there will be plenty of other unmolested don d novels

white noise is the one, rivaled only by the first segment of Underworld. I'm happy just to have an excuse not to watch a Baumbach joint. (Mistress America was v good, but that was during the brief era when Greta Gerwig was making his movies for him)
