The award winning book, A Monster Calls, is getting a movie adaptation with Liam Neeson set to play the aformentioned monster, and now it's one step closer to hitting the big screen as the studios have announced the start of official production.
I really enjoyed this book, and read it in about one evening. It's a haunting tale about love and loss, and learning how to cope with life's hard realities. While the subject matter may seem wrapped in a simple format, the themes are resounding. I'm interested to see how they manage to translate that into the movie, and crossing my fingers they manage to do so successfully. I mean, Liam Neeson is going to be a freaking mo-cap monster...how could they go wrong!

Martin Scorsese's film Hugo is adapted from The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. In an exclusive interview the American artist talks about working with Marty, his love of cross-hatching – and why he always keeps a mirror on his desk
The boy – wearing a tatty frock coat and waistcoat – runs across a station forecourt, through iron columns, steam and glass. Turn the page, and he enters the mouth of a square tunnel, into the shadows; he pauses, against the tunnel wall, to ensure he is unobserved. Turn again, and we see, close-up, his arm reach towards an ornate iron grate in the wall; and then – in the graphic equivalent of a cinema zoom-shot – we see his boot, with holes in the sole, disappearing into a duct, and the station's concealed innards and passages.
