Interesting news from Bleeding Cool:
I’ve confirmed that Noah Baumbach, director of Frances Ha, Greenberg and The Squid and the Whale, has been secretly directing an animated movie for Dreamworks. He has some experience with both the form and the studio, having co-scripted Madagascar 3.
This picture is an adaptation of Berkeley Breathed’s Flawed Dogs, a series of that’s gone from the Piddleton Pound picture book to, more recently, Breathed’s first novel, The Shocking Raid on Westminster.
The movie is based on Berkeley Breathed’s book Flawed Dogs: The Novel: The Shocking Raid on Westminster
I can’t wait for this one! I bought the book for one of my sons. He set it aside and I picked it up and read it myself. It’s a well-written story with great characters and an intriguing plot line. If Breathed gets to do much of the work on the movie art…..BONUS! I actually enjoyed his art and humor as much as Bill Waterson.
