The world of Edward Gorey is coming to the big screen for the first time thanks to Walden Media, Fox 2000 and the Jim Henson Co., which are joining forces to adapt the illustrator-writer's classic tale The Doubtful Guest.
Brad Peyton will direct the live-action feature, with a script written by Matthew Huffman.
Gorey, who died in 2000 at age 75, was an artist and writer known for his macabre bent, with works that had an ominous and somewhat Victorian air. His influence can be seen in the works of Tim Burton and in music videos like Nine Inch Nails' "The Perfect Drug", and while none of his works has ever reached the silver screen, the opening titles of the PBS series Mystery! done in animation style are based on his art. He also was a successful set and costume designer, earning a Tony for his Broadway production of Edward Gorey's Dracula.
Originally published in 1957, the whimsical story revolves around a quirky family whose life is turned upside down when a mysterious, mischievous creature arrives unannounced and unwelcome, bringing trouble with him and wreaking havoc.

Francis Lawrence, who directed Constantine for Warner Bros. Pictures, is reuniting with the studio to helm a feature film adaptation of Philip Ardagh's children's fantasy novel A House Called Awful End. Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman, Circle of Confusion's Jason Lust and Lawrence Mattis and Erwin Stoff are producing the adaptation, which will be titled Awful End. Awful End tells the story of an 11-year-old British boy who finds himself in the questionable care of Mad Uncle Jack and Mad Aunt Maud when his parents become ill. The relatives turn him over to St. Horrid's Home for Grateful Orphans, where he stages a breakout with other orphans. The book is the first of the Eddie Dickens Trilogy. The second book is titled Dreadful Acts; the third is yet to be published. Matthew Huffman adapted the book. The movie will involve both live action and animation. Warners' Polly Cohen is overseeing for the studio. Before branching out into film, CAA-repped Lawrence directed music videos for Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan and Aerosmith.
