Edward Gorey…flick?!

While attending college at the University of Southern California, my older brother Art had a roommate named Michael who introduced me to some of the coolest culture that a college kid in 1986-1988 could possibly teach a young sixteen year old lad.
The works of Edward Gorey were among the interests he was to inspire.
I’ve recently learned that Walden Media and the Jim Henson Co. intends on producing a big screen adaptation of “The Doubtful Guest” with Canadian director Brad Peyton at the helm.
Not sure how I feel about this, but here’s the article.

For those new to Gorey’s works, I highly recommend starting here with Amphigorey.

Also here is a great interview with the man himself. Kickass.
