We've got movie news coming out of our ears.

Media blog Buzzsugar has posted a ton of literary film-adaptation news in the past few days:

*Children's book illustrator Gris Grimly will be directing a movie adaptation of Pinocchio, based on a book version he illustrated in 2002. Guillermo Del Toro will serve as executive producer, and the Jim Henson Co. is creating the stop-motion animation.

*Apparently, Walden Media hopes to greenlight Voyage of the Dawn Treader, (the third Chronicles of Narnia movie) "soon". I'm kind of surprised to hear it isn't a done deal already. Didn't the first two movies make decent money?

*Aaaaand there's a new trailer out for the upcoming adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's mid-eighties classic comic book series Watchmen.
There's a bunch of posts on there about Twilight and Quantum of Solace, too, but I figure they don't need any more promotion, so I'm skipping 'em.
