Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things
According to The Movie Blog, Ted Naifeh’s graphic novel, Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things is set to get a big screen outing.
Courtney Crumrin is a yong girl who’s parents are obsessed with money and their social rank. The family moves into the home of their rich uncle, Professor Aloysius Crumrin. Old man Crumrin’s huge Victorian mansion is par for the course in the well-to-do neighborhood of Hillsborough. However, as Courtney soon discovers, Uncle Aloysius has a sinister reputation throughout the district, and his home is shrouded in dark rumor. And while this new arrangement allows the greedy Mr. and Mrs. Crumrin a much-desired boost in social status, Courtney feels as though she’s landed in a nightmare. Her new school is filled with spoiled rich brats just as shallow and selfish as her parents. She quickly finds herself an outcast. And if that weren’t bad enough, the moldering old mansion seems to house even stranger creatures than Mom and Dad or Uncle Aloysius.
The expected release date is sometime in 2007 and, although I’m not familliar with this comic at all, what I’ve read about it so far does leave me with some moderately high hopes.
