We haven't heard much sinceparted ways withafterThe stop-motion legend had been working on various projects including the stuck-in-development-hell, but we haven't seen a new film from him since. In an unexpected twist, it seems he is now headed for television and will direct a pilot for the TV adaptation of the acclaimed new video gameThe game features a young girl namedwho must escape from a ship full of villains. Take a look at the trailer and you can see why this is prime territory for thedirector. Its combination of creepy and cute looks like it could have come straight out from one of his films and has won it legions of admirers.The rights were picked up by(directors ofand the nextflick) for their new production company. Selick is attached to direct the pilot, but potentially more if the project goes to series.It should also be noted at this point that nobody has actually yet said that this will be stop-motion animated. People may assume that it would be, but could Selick follow in the footsteps his fellow animator buddyand make the shift to live-action? Or maybe it could be CG or even 2D animation? The signs would obviously point to this being a stop-motion series (and that would be a wonderful thing) but until we know for sure, your guess is as good as ours.Are you excited by this news?
