Jeff Smith's "Bone" : The Movie

[TMNT_Guy]

I'm sure the movie will as faithful as possible, but things like Smiley's smoking will undoubtedly be changed or altered. In order for this movie be 100% faithful, I think it would have to get a PG-13 rating and I don't see that happening.

Still looking forward to any more news about it. It's been ages since I last heard anything about this movie, maybe we'll actualy hear more about it in 2022.

I didn't know about that either. I'm curious if the same changes are in my 2004 copy of Bone The Complete Cartoon Epic in One Volume published by Cartoon Books. I don't remember that sewer scene at all, but it has been almost six years since I've read it...well, I know what I'm doing with my weekend now.

I guess we kind of got that with Telltale's Bone games...even if they never finished all the episodes.

Here's a fan animation using voices from the game to help tide us over. The actual movie will likely be in CG, but it's still cool.

This is great news. I haven't read all of the books, but from the ones that I did read, I freaking love them.

We now have a title for the film, courtesy of Mark Osborne via Facebook:

Spoiler:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I hope they intend to change that... it's a bit on-the-nose.

[Utrommaniac]

So...is it a "Sequel" adaptation or a straight-up adaptation???

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I guess the dragon "returns" in the original comics, since his kind had been in hiding for so long, but it's a weird way to title the film. The dragon's presence isn't even that strong until a good bit into the story.

[Utrommaniac]

I guess that it makes sense for covering the first three parts of the story, especially from the way that the third book ends, and the way Phoney Bone riles up the village about the dragon (though lying to get rich even though there was truth to the matter he wasn't aware of).
