Additionally, the three-time Oscar winner confirmed he will be adapting a fantasy novel written by the Nobel Prize-winning Kazuo Ishiguro, which Deadline exclusively announced two years prior: “I am, right now, preparing a stop-motion adaptation of The Buried Giant, the Kazuo Ishiguro novel. And it is going to be an epic stop-motion that is not going to be for kids. It’s truly exploring the capacity to act, of a stop-motion project, and fuse a world the way you would do it if it was a live-action.”



Naturally, this is not new territory for the Pinocchiofilmmaker, with the tale of the transforming wooden puppet a decidedly not-for-children adaptation on which ShadowMachine’s stop motion studio also served as the production’s home base.

 

[Boom]

At the Mountains of Madness after that then.

At the Mountains of Madness after that then.

After the production of a full-length stop motion animated film…?

I mean, I guess seeing that in your twilight years is better than never seeing it at all…

I mean, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t still think about it. But he has toyed with so many projects over the years, I’m sure he still thinks about lots of things.

Shoot, that mf probably still thinks about how much better his Hobbit would’ve been. As he should.

The real key to it ever becoming a reality is if Cruise still thinks about it…
