We saw Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens turned into a TV series in 2019 and The Sandman is currently airing. And just in, his 2008 YA novel The Graveyard Book is being adapted for screen, reports Empire.
Filmmaker Mark Forster has signed on to direct the forthcoming movie version of The Graveyard Book. If you’re not familiar with this story, it's quite a story.
It starts off with a baby boy crawling out of his crib and wandering into a graveyard. There, a group of friendly ghosts look after him. He goes by the name Nobody. It turns out Nobody – Bod for short – has lost his family to a killer named Jack. The supernatural beings he meets keep him safe from the killer.
If you’d like a peek at the first chapter, you can do so over at The New York Times.
It may sound sad and creepy, but it’s also loving, with one of Nobody’s adoptive parents, saying, "It is going to take more than just a couple of good-hearted souls to raise this child. It will ... take a graveyard."
As well, Nobody makes a friend, a little girl – who is living – and she makes him her imaginary friend (even though he is real).
Gaiman talks about the book in this NPR interview that he did at the time of publishing:

There’s no word on a start date, but there is some movement.
At this rate, maybe Gaiman should have his own channel dedicated to adaptations.
