Animated Bone Update

Bone creator Jeff Smith spoke with Comics2Film about recent reports that plans for an animated feature film version of his comic book had run aground. Although reports from late August stated that Nickelodeon and Paramount had allowed the option to expire on the project, Smith told C2F the decision to put the brakes on was his. “It just wasn’t gelling,” Smith said of the project. “They wanted to keep going. They offered another development period and I walked away.”

This development, however, does not spell the end of the Bone movie. “The option’s lapsed, but everybody still likes everybody,” Smith said of his relationship with Nickelodeon. “I still think there’s a good possibility we’re going to do it.” “I’m definitely not running away from it. In fact we’re still talking,” Smith revealed.
