Coraline

Wow, I'm excited about this now. Rotten Tomatoes will be putting up preview videos all week for the upcoming Coraline movie. I hadn't really paid much attention to this project until now, but upon stumbling on the previews the project has my full attention. Not only is it based on a Neil Gaiman story (one that I haven't read, but I'm generally a fan of the guy's work, so that pedigree is definitely a plus), I now discover that it's being directed by Henry Selick of The Nightmare Before Christmas fame. Awesome! Plus Ian McShane (Al Swearengen on Deadwood) is apparently in the voice cast. Bonus! Looks very promising.
