But I’ve spent most of my life wondering what Wangerin’s cataclysmically dark, weirdly funny book would look like as a movie. Now, there’s a slim chance that we could finally find out. Better yet, there’s a chance that the news might prompt a few more people to read one of my all-time favorite fantasy books.

This sounds like an exciting development for fans of the book! It’s always interesting to see beloved stories get new life through animation. The blend of dark humor and fantasy could make for a unique film experience. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!
