We learned via Twitter and /film (Slashfilm) that visionary director Neil Jordan will write and direct an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book. If you don’t know Neil Jordan by name, then you probably know him by film: The Crying Game, In Dreams, The Company of Wolves, Interview with the Vampire, and Angel, among others. Jordan is currently in post-production on the mermaid fable Ondine.
