    Animal Logic acquires IDW’s Night Mary

    Press ReleaseBy Press ReleaseJuly 30, 20091 Comment4 Mins Read

    Press Release

    Animal Logic announced today that it has secured the rights to IDW Publishing’s graphic novel Night Mary, the mystery/horror graphic novel co-created by Rick Remender and Kieron Dwyer. The deal reinforces Animal Logic’s progression into the development and production of a diverse slate of digital entertainment in animation, live action, hybrid films and games. IDW Publishing, the 3rd largest U.S. Comic Publisher, IDW is an award-winning publisher of comic books, graphic novels and trade paperbacks, based in San Diego, California. As a leader in the horror, action, and sci-fi genres, IDW publishes some of the most successful and popular titles in the industry including: Hasbro’s The Transformers and G.I. JOE, Paramount’s Star Trek; Fox’s Angel; the BBC’s Doctor Who; and television’s #1 prime time series CBS’ CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. IDW is also home to the Library of American Comics imprint, which publishes classic comic reprints; Yoe! Books, a partnership with Yoe! Studios; and is the print publisher for ComicMix. IDW’s original horror series, 30 Days of Night, was launched as a major motion picture in October 2007 by Sony Pictures and was the #1 film in its first week of release.


    Night Mary follows the adventures of Mary Specter, a misunderstood teenage girl trained to be a lucid dreamer. Mary’s father runs a sleep disorder clinic where Mary enters the ghastly dreams of severely disturbed people in an attempt to help them. When a patient is revealed to be a serial killer, the nightmare world and the waking one become intertwined, putting Mary in real jeopardy.

    Animal Logic CEO Zareh Nalbandian will produce with IDW’s Ted Adams and Circle of Confusion’s David Alpert and Rick Jacobs Executive Producing.

    Nalbandian said “we’re very pleased to be working with IDW and Circle of Confusion and look forward to this being the beginning of a long-term relationship as Animal Logic moves into developing and producing a wider range of films, outside of its core digital animation slate. Night Mary is a fantastic property that will enable us to collaborate with innovative writers and directors to tell a great story and deliver ground breaking design.”Adams added “Rick and Kieron are two of my favourite creators and I’m thrilled that Animal Logic will be bringing their creation to an even bigger audience.”

    Animal Logic and IDW publishing are represented by CAA.

      I remember the wife getting me to read this when it first came out, real neat stuff. I can see them doing a real trippy type surreal movie for it.

      The premise though, a lucid dreamer that enters the dreams of others, still reminds me a little of Nightmask, but the story and premise are original enough (and Nightmask is vague enough) that it stands as a very original piece.

      Looking forward to it!
