According to Done Deal’s Script Sales page, Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and Vinton Studios will adapt Neil Gaiman’s children’s book Coraline, with Selick set to write and direct the film, in which “a young girl discovers an alternate version of her life after walking through a secret door in her new home.” Bill Mechanic’s Pandemonium Films will co-produce the film with Vinton. This will be Vinton Studios’ second animated feature, after Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, due to be released in the fall of 2005. The means of animation to be used in the film are unknown at the time, but one could expect it to use stop-motion animation given Selick and Vinton’s track record.
