LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Warner Bros. has picked
up the rights to "Bone," the independent comic book series from
artist Jeff Smith.
The fantasy series followed three cousins from the Bone
family who are small, white and bald human-like creatures with
big noses. The trio are run out of their hometown and find
themselves in a mysterious valley where they are separated and
hunted by other creatures. They are taken in by a girl named
Thorn and her grandmother and find out that valley is
threatened by an evil force called the Lord of the Locusts.
The series ran irregularly from 1991-2004. Scholastic has
been publishing the collected stories in graphic novel format
An animated version was in development at Nickelodeon Films
but fell through, partly because of Smith's displeasure over
the fact that the studio was aiming the adaptation at kids and
wanted the film to include pop songs.
