Del Toro And Morrisson Pitch Sleepless Knights

[Wednesday, June 5th, 2002]
DreamWorks has acquired "Sleepless Knights," a pitch from comicbook scribe Grant Morrisson with director Guillermo del Toro ("Blade 2") attached to helm, reports Variety.

Morrisson is best known for having penned what remains one of the top-selling graphic novels of all time, "Batman: Arkham Asylum." He also has worked on such D.C. Comics books as "New Doom Patrol" and "The Justice League."

Currently, he is penning Marvel Comics' "The X-Men" series and, in between, penned the treatment for "Sleepless Knights" producer and fellow Scotsman Susan Montford.

Story is designed as a family adventure about a time machine experiment that goes horribly wrong, leaving the planet permanently stuck on Halloween eve. Soon, ghosts and spirits realize they have free reign and run unchecked -- until a young boy is recruited to an elite ghostbusting squadron called the Sleepless Knights.
