Behind the Scenes for “Coraline”
A high-definition stop-motion animated feature – the first to be originally filmed in 3-D – with spectacular CG effects, based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book. A young girl (Dakota Fanning) walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother [Teri Hatcher]) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home – and save her family.

Writers: Henry Selick; Based on the book by Neil Gaiman

I remember when Coraline won the Hugo. Neil Gaiman decided to do an impromptu reading the next morning from some of his upcoming projects.
The room was packed!
COOL!!! i can’t wait, the book was little odd but really good story. movie looks really good!

Neil keeps control of the content of video versions of his work-which means this will be spectacular! If they manage to make another movie as good as “Stardust” then YIPPEE!
