Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to "Bone," the acclaimed independent comic book series from artist Jeff Smith, says The Hollywood Reporter. Dan Lin will produce.
The fantasy series followed three cousins from the Bone family who are small, white and bald humanlike 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 the 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 since 2005, selling more than 1 million copies so far.
A decision on what kind of format "Bone" should take -- live-action or animated or both -- will be based on filmmaker meetings.
Visit the official "Bone" website for more info.

This better be fucking animated!
WB doesn't even have a studio these days, do they?
This will be a god-awful wise-cracking CGI cartoon with no resemblance to the source material.
See also: Horton Hears a Who.
Hopefully Jeff Smith will have some pull over what actually happens with it.

I'm dreading the merchandising, personally.
I still have my Bone PVC from Hero Illustrated.
I'm all for merchandising.
I saw a soda with bit of jello in it yesterday that somehow was related to Horton Hears a Who.
