JAMES TYNION IV IS GETTING ANIMATED. The comics author behind Something Is Killing the Children and The Nice House on the Lake, and his production house Tiny Onion are making a big play in the adult animation business. They are launching a muscular slate of titles based on the ideas and works of the creator. Tynion is developing The Woods with publisher Boom! Studios. The book, which bowed in 2014, tells the story of an ordinary high school in suburban Milwaukee, which is suddenly transported into the midst of an alien forest in an uncharted corner of the universe. The author also has an adaptation of his Image Comics sci-fi horror series WorldTr33 set up at Netflix. That one tells the story of a dark evil within the Internet that may destroy humanity. Finally, he has original idea The Tipsy Dragon, which is set in a tavern in a world where the age of heroes and legends is long past…and its barkeep and patrons couldn’t care less about their supposed role in an ancient battle between good and evil just outside their doorstep. The adult animated comedy is being developed with production company Irony Point. To help shepherd all of this, Tynion has hired animation vet Casey Gonzalez. “I have always seen animation and comics as being siblings, the way both mediums bring stories to life with an energy and style that's impossible in live action," Tynion says. Into the Woods we go.

MICHAEL GIACCHINO HAS FOUND HIS WAY HOME AGAIN. The composer and occasional director is returning to score Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Giacchino delivered the memorable scores for the first trio of Tom Holland movies – 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home – all of which were directed by Jon Watts. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing this Brand New Day, which will wrap its principal photography on Dec. 16. Cretton, Giacchino and the post-production team will then have half a year to get the movie into shape for a July 31, 2026 release.
