In one week, Coraline will be released in theaters. It is a fantastic movie, kind of a dark cross between the book The Wizard of Oz and the Victorian story Alice in Wonderland, and I think audiences will fall in love with it as I fell in love with it.

Neil Gaiman, the author who wrote the book Coraline that Henry Selick adapted into the 3D stop motion movie, has been doing some fun stuff for the release of this film. He attended the premiere, he is attending the movie’s release at the Dublin Film Festival, and he has put together a short little trailer of his own for Coraline.

Buttons. Buttons everywhere. Are you scared of buttons?

Neil Gaiman at his delightfully creepiest. Hope you enjoy it! And on a different topic altogether, Neil has sold the rights for The Graveyard Book to Neil Jordan to adapt the recent Newbery Medal winner into a film. Good stuff! Can’t wait to see that book adapted to the silver screen!

Neil has a lot going on right now. He released The Graveyard Book a few months ago. The movie adaptation of his book Coraline is coming to a theater near you on February 6th.

Well, all of his hard work has paid off extra today, leaving what I would imagine a huge smile on his face.

The American Library Association has awarded Neil Gaiman the Newbery Medal for The Graveyard Book!
