Here's the description of Gaiman's novel: (Akiva Goldsman would be an obvious assumption, but since he's busy making Winter's Tale, it will likely go to someone else.) THR reports that Howard will oversee the creation of a new script, but we don't know who'll write. The other is that his version will be a live-action film.

One is that Ron Howard is in talks to step in to direct. Maybe having Gaiman on board, a creator with a strong sense of story, worldbuilding, and character, will help make this something special.Now the project is back in action, and remains at Disney. Films like Christopher Robin, Machine Gun Preacher, and Quantum of Solace haven’t been great and even a big hit like World War Z is no big fan favourite. Though, to be fair, it’s been a good while since Forster directed anything truly memorable. Either way, on paper it seems like a solid combination of rich, vibrant source material and a director who has proven more than capable of handling that. There’s no word when Forster might get around to The Graveyard Book or, when he does, if it’ll be a Disney theatrical release or go straight to Disney+. David Magee, who wrote Mary Poppins Returns for Disney and Finding Neverland for Forster, is penning the screenplay. Deadline broke the news of the directorial hire which marks the first significant movement on the adaptation. It blends humour and heart with danger and the macabre in a way that only Neil Gaiman can do. The Graveyard Book was released in 2008 and, according to Amazon, is “the only work ever to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals.” It follows a young boy named Nobody Owens, referred to as “Bod,” who is a normal boy save for the fact he lives in a graveyard and is being raised by ghosts. Disney has just hired director Marc Forster ( Christopher Robin ) to direct The Graveyard Book, a film based on the award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman. The company behind the Haunted Mansion is getting ready to tell another tale of ghosts and goblins.
