When I heard the news of this project I must admit I got a
little bit excited, who wouldn't, I mean Edgar Wright, Johnny
Depp and Neil Gaiman teaming up for a project.
The project is for a children's boo written by Gaiman called
''Fortunately The Milk''. I must admit that I am a huge fan of
Gaiman's work but I have never read ''Fortunately The Milk''
The book is described as '' a story of time travel and
breakfast cereal''.
THR reportd that the movie will be adapted by Bret Mckenzie
one half of the comedy duo ''Flight Of The Concords'' and
Oscar winner for his musical work on The Muppets.
If you are not familiar with the tale, like myself here is a
description.
A little boy and his little sister awake one morning, milkless. Their mother is away on business, their father is buried in the paper, and their Toastios are dry. What are young siblings to do? They impress upon their father that his tea is also without milk and sit back to watch their plan take effect. But something goes amiss, and their father doesn’t return and doesn’t return some more. When he does, finally, he has a story to tell, a story involving aliens; pirates; ponies; wumpires (not the handsome, brooding kind); and a stegosaurus professor who pilots a Floaty-Ball-Person-Carrier (which looks suspiciously like a hot-air balloon). There is time travel, treachery, and ample adventure, and, fortunately, the milk he has procured is rescued at every turn.
The movie will be a live-action and animation hybrid,
presumably with the fantasy and sc-fi elements being brought
to life with animation around real actors.
