Perhaps that’s Zack
Snyder’s M.O. Snyder will follow-up his 2009 adaptation of Alan
Moore’s Watchmen with the animated kids film Guardians
of Ga’Hoole, a feature adaptation based on the rather large
(14 books and counting since 2003!) bestselling kids series by author Kathryn
Lasky and illustrator Richard Cowdry. No specifics
on the animation style, but the Australian special effects company Animal
Logic,
which has worked on films like Happy Feet, Snyder’s 300 and Babe,
will be central to the production.
The movie will be out in 2009 or in early 2010, so there's
not a long wait until this movie comes out. For people who loved the book series
and are dying to know if she's going to make any more books the answer is yes.

Summery`
Soren the Barn
Owl nestling happily lives in a tree hollow with his family and Mrs.
Plithiver, their nest-maid snake. He is pushed out of their hollow by his
brother, Kludd. He is captured by two patrol owls and brought to St. Aggie's,
which is supposedly a refuge for orphaned owlets. There he realizes that
owls were not supposed to question and they had to forget their names but
to have a number instead. After a few questionable incidents at the academy
Soren begins to wonder what really is behind the plot of St. Aggie's. Soren
befriends an Elf
Owl named Gylfie who explains to him how the academy controls the minds
of young owls, and helps him avoid being "moon blinked", or brainwashed
by tricking the monitors in the glaucidum. They both meet a Spotted
Owl named Hortense who, like Gylfie and Soren, is not moon blinked, but
pretending to be.
Skench and Spoorn, the leaders of St. Aggie's, find out that Hortense had
been delivering eggs to two eagles named Zan and Streak. "Auntie",
a Snowy
Owl with the real name of Finny,who was also Soren's pit guard along with
Skench and Spoorn, throw Hortense off a cliff while Hortense is unable to fly.
Later in the series, Hortense returns as Mist: a mysterious owl that seems
transparent. Soren and Gylfie later learn to fly with the help of an academy
guard, Grimble.
During Soren and Gylfie's attempt to flee the academy after they learned to
fly, Grimble is killed by Skench while defending the two owls from an attack.
They head to the Island of Ga'Hoole, which is revered for its legends of noble
owls who do only good. Along the way, they meet Digger and Twilight, who each
have different personalities, but similar life experiences. Twilight was met
when Gylfie was stuck upside-down on a tree, while Digger was met soon after
in the desert land of Kuneer. Soren and Glyfie try to find their families but
instead they find Mrs. Plithiver who tells them about Kludd. The strange foursome
and Mrs. P then decide to begin a journey to the Great Ga'hoole Tree, which
brings the series to the next book, The
Journey.
