P.J. Hogan to direct "Bone" and Animal Logic to animate

    I last published a post on the new Bone film in the summer. Now there is a new director.
    Australian director P.J. Hogan will direct. He directed Muriel’s Wedding, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and the 2003 version of Peter Pan. And show Greek creator Patrick Sean Smith will write the script. I haven't seen any of those things so I really don't know if this will be good.
    Two films are in the works and there is still no talks if Bone author and illustrator Jeff Smith (also my idol) will be working on a script. But until then it will be shot in Australia (I would of thought that they would shoot in Oregon since most good films were shot there like The Goonies, and since in the comics of Bone it snows and rains and has beautiful creatures and beautiful sites witch is what Oregon is, and like the book Oregon has some strange people, to see what I'm talking about check out Portlandia on IFC because 1: its in Oegon and 2: Fred Armisen is in it).
       The Happy Feet movies and Owls of Ga'hool animation studio will animate. But they do allot of fur and animal stuff I don't know how there gonna make these cartoony creatures. Since I always thought of Jeff Smith's cartooning like a mix of Walt Disney cartoons with Walt Kelley art in a Harry Potter world.
        I really hope that they don't ruin Bone. I still read them and as I know that my friends have grown tired of these comics I still found them to be in my heart, which is what animation does.
