Warner Bros. has acquired the rights for a film version of Bone, the critically acclaimed independent comic book series from artist Jeff Smith. The Hollywood Reporter summarizes, “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.” It has yet to be decided if the Bone picture will be live-action or animated or both.
