Just a few hours ago I was at a Coraline event that Focus Features put on in
After Bill left Fox, he formed the independent production company Pandemonium and he’s the first one that thought Coraline would make a great movie. Since this is the man who made Fight Club, X-Men and Titanic, I’d like to think he knows what he’s doing.
For those unfamiliar, Torso was originally published as a six issued series by Image Comics and it tells the story of the real life "Torso Murderer", a serial killer who was active during 1934 to 1938. He received his nickname because he left only the torsos of his victims. Without fingerprints or dental records, these victims were very difficult to identify in a time before DNA testing. The investigator on the case was Eliot Ness,
Anyway, look for a lot of Coraline interviews very soon. And just to let you know, we saw about 30 minutes today in 3D and it looked incredible. Fans of Neil Gaiman need not worry…this is going to be a great adaptation.
