Noelle Stevenson’s bestselling title is a genre mash tale of a futuristic yet medieval world where knights visit nightclubs and ride hover boards. The story follows a young shapeshifter who partners with a not-so-evil supervillain to help him take down the regime. The project started as a web comic while Stevenson was a student, and has since scored her both the Harvey and Eisner Awards. You can get a taste of it right here.
Marc Haimes is attached to write the script for the eventual film, his second animated outing after crafting Kubo And The Two Strings, which Laika will release next year.
As for Osborne, who won an Oscar for Feast, he also worked as head of animation on Big Hero 6, and has worked on various Disney titles.
