Henry Selick’s Coraline is returning to the big screen this year in celebration of its 15th birthday.
Neil Gaiman, who wrote the eponymous 2002 novella on which the film is based, announced via BlueSky on Wednesday (February 7th) that the 2009 stop-motion flick is getting “properly” remastered and re-released in 3D format. It’s currently scheduled to hit theaters sometime in August 2024.
Coraline stars the voice of Dakota Fanning as Coraline Jones, a young girl who’s less than pleased about her family’s recent relocation to Oregon from Michigan. While her parents are constantly preoccupied with work, Coraline discovers a small door in her new house that leads to a suspiciously identical alternate universe called the Other World. There, she encounters button-eyed doppelgängers of her parents, who spoil her with endless attention — for better or for worse.
Coraline was Selick’s follow-up to 1996’s James and the Giant Peach and...

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are living comedic legends, as the drinking, drug-abusing, shallow stars of the British sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous." The British Film Institute ranked "AbFab" as number 17 of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of all time, and the beloved series saw a reunion nearly 25 years after the show first aired with "Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie" in 2016. The series sees Saunders as PR agent Edina "Eddie" Monsoon, who spends most of her time fad-chasing and crash dieting in an attempt to stay hip, young, and relevant. At her side is longtime bestie and magazine fashion director Patsy Stone (Lumley), whose inappropriate antics make Eddie look like a church-marm.
"Absolutely Fabulous" is one of the funniest sitcoms in television history, with Eddie and Patsy's signature style helping them become two of the most easily recognizable female characters in all of comedy. The show became hugely popular in the United States...

Neil Gaiman's work has become ever-more-popular fodder for screen adaptations of late, and it's not hard to grasp why. The "Stardust" and "American Gods" author excels at painting vivid portraits of worlds where the fantastical quietly co-exists with the mundane, only to be uncovered by plucky, lively heroes like Coraline Jones. His books then blend these arresting concepts with captivating stories about people coming-of-age, finding love, or discovering a deeper purpose for their life.
Such is also the case with one of Gaiman's most widely-acclaimed novels, "The Graveyard Book." The winner of the Newberry Medal and Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 2008...
