Kids version of THE MUMMY on the way
THE ANUBIS TAPESTRY picked up by Fox Animation.
I do love my Egyptian mummy movies and I will admit to feeling a little bummed out that The Mummy franchise has shipped itself off to China. So I'm delighted to see this new project take shape.

Variety say Fox Animation have optioned the kids book The Anubis Tapestry: Between Twilights which hits the usual genre fare but also thankfully has a detailed mythology... Fox plans a loose adaptation of the novel, which kicks off when a mummy's curse condemns Dr. George Henry's spirit to the Egyptian Underworld. While trying to free him, Henry's son Chance plumbs the depths of the Underworld and encounters a variety of monsters.The series is written by Bruce Zick who has worked on a ton of movies in the animated department including Finding Nemo, The Lion King and Pocahontas and will probably work on this film in some capacity. Love it! Monster House laid the groundwork of what a kids animated horror movie could do. I think there's some untapped potential in this genre. And I do love Mummy movies!
