Coraline director Henry Selick is looking to give Neil Gaiman's novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane a stop-motion adaptation.
"Instead of a child going to this other world with a monstrous mother, it’s a monstrous mother who comes into our world to wreak havoc on a kid’s life," Selick told Variety, describing the novel as an "almost sequel" to Coraline. The filmmaker is reportedly now shopping the project around "with a honed 35-page treatment and scores of artwork and concept designs."
