'Bone' Goes to Warner Bros.


'Bone', the 55 issue comic series drawn and written by Jeff Smith, has recently had it's rights bought by Warner Bros. Studios! The books had their run from 1991-2004, and prior to this new development had been under the eye of Nickelodeon, who at one point had wanted to make a children's animated television series of it; however they did not due to the protest of the creator, Jeff.

I personally think Warner Bros. has a chance of doing justice to this series. It's definitely been a comic series I've made time to dabble in over it's course. Although it started with a bit more comedy, the series really turned into a sort of high-fantasy with adventure throughout.

For those who are unfamiliar with Bone lore, the series centers around the Bone family. They are creatures who are small, bald, white, and big-nosed. "Phoney" Bone, Smiley Bone and (everyone's favorite) Fone Bone, originating from Boneville (though you never get to see boneville, oddly enough), get thrown into a world of adventure after being cast out form their village.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm intrigued as to what Warner Bros. has in store for this series. Finger's crossed!
