This trailer has been out for a while, but since there's no topic, I thought we'd talk about the upcoming move (and the book too!).
The book is one of my all time favorites as a child. It perfectly captured the imagination of a young boy. It was eerie, exhilarating, scary and funny. It was also very short, only about 20 or so pages long and only a few lines of dialog.
So I was obviously skeptic that they could adapt this into a movie.
Was being the key word here. If you haven't seen the trailer, watch this:

Holy crap. I'm sold. I haven't been this excited to see a movie since... well, The Dark Knight or The Incredibles. Sure, they're probably adding an actual plot, but thats why its called an Adaption. It feels like Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal, or any of those 80s fantasy movies. The right move for this.
Oh, if you haven't read the book, here's a picture movie with a narration. Its barely longer then the trailer for the movie:
