BONE Movie is Said to be "Mind Blowing" by Creator Jeff Smith!

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex the creator of the comic BONE, Jeff Smith, says that what he has seen of the film adaptation of comic is "mind blowing".  Which is encouraging considering this is the third time the script for it has been written.  There is a reason for this, as the LA Times reports:

Various film versions of “Bone” have been in the works for almost 10 years, Smith said, but translating the elaborate tale of the Bone cousins being kicked out of their town and landing in a valley they never knew existed “has been a real puzzler,” even though the cartoon portion is already drawn.

Here is what Smith had to say about the footage that he has seen so far:

“I’m a comic book guy, I’m not a movie guy,” he explained, adding that he’s “actually excited about the movie for the first time in a long time” after having seen a four-minute “Bone” short recently put together by Warner Bros.

“Fone Bone was falling in the water and going through cliffs and canyons. The dragon moved in from off camera in the shadows with smoke around him, all in 3-D. It was pretty mind-blowing,” said Smith, who estimates that the earliest a “Bone” film would be done is two years from now.

So, in two years we will be able to see this.  But, if you think that you need more Jeff Smith, he will be here at SDCC2011.  He will be doing four panels and tons of autograph signage, and we will be here with our Ultra Legendary coverage of the Con.  So stay tuned in and let us know what you think.

McMurphy Out!
